An individual contracted for the purchase of property, making a down payment, but failed to finalize the sale on the stipulated date because they had not secured the necessary loan commitment, despite the contract not making the sale conditional upon obtaining financing; the Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision to dismiss the purchaser's claim for the return of the down payment, reasoning that since the obligation to purchase was unconditional and the failure to execute the final act was solely attributable to the purchaser's inability to secure funds, the seller was entitled to retain the down payment as compensation for the buyer's breach of contract.
