A lower court had ruled that an agreement to sell land, which was established through an exchange of offers and acceptances but lacked a formal notarial deed, was void as against third parties because the transfer of ownership had not been officially recorded; however, the highest court overturned this ruling, reasoning that under the relevant property law, a binding contract of sale, even if not formally recorded, transfers ownership between the contracting parties immediately upon the exchange of consent, and thus the contractual transfer was valid between them despite the lack of subsequent public registration, which only affects opposability to third parties.
