Généré par l'IA

A plaintiff, having contracted for the purchase of property, sought judicial resolution due to the seller's non-execution of the final deed, demanding the sale be judicially executed and requesting the court to order the seller to sign the necessary documents, arguing that the prior agreement created an obligation to sell which was enforceable; the Court of Cassation quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that while a promise to sell creates an obligation to contract, its execution cannot be judicially forced as a substitute for the final contract's formation, as the contract itself requires a distinct expression of mutual consent which cannot be replaced by a judicial order compelling the defaulting party's signature.
