A contract for the sale of a farm stipulated that the buyer was to pay a portion of the price in annual installments over twenty years, with the transfer of ownership contingent upon the final payment, yet the buyer took possession immediately and later initiated proceedings seeking rescission of the sale due to a defect in title that only became apparent after the initial payment, arguing the seller had not fulfilled their primary obligation to guarantee peaceful possession; the court rejected this appeal, reasoning that the immediate taking of possession by the buyer constituted a tacit acceptance of the conditionality of the transfer of ownership linked to the final installment, meaning the buyer could not simultaneously claim rescission based on a defect in title while benefiting from immediate possession under the agreed terms.
