Sale Agreement Annulment Based on Breach of Accessory Obligation

A plaintiff sought to annul a sale agreement on the grounds that the defendant breached an accessory obligation to secure necessary administrative authorizations, leading to the transaction's inability to be executed as intended, but the lower court rejected this claim, holding that the accessory obligation was not a condition precedent to the primary obligation to sell. The high court upheld this decision, reasoning that the failure to obtain the authorizations did not render the primary contract void or voidable because the obligation to procure such authorizations was separate from, and not suspensive of, the formation or validity of the principal contract of sale itself.
