The dispute arose from a contract for the sale of a building that required the seller to obtain necessary administrative authorizations, which they failed to secure, prompting the buyer to seek termination of the sale and recovery of the deposit. The court dismissed the appeal, holding that the seller's obligation to obtain the necessary permits constituted a "positive obligation" to achieve a specific result, and the failure to obtain these authorizations constituted a definitive breach of contract, justifying the buyer's request for termination, irrespective of whether the failure was due to the seller's fault or an external obstacle, as the contractual expectation of a fully authorized sale was not met.
