Seller's Breach of Right of First Refusal in Lease Agreement

The case involved a dispute arising from a sales agreement where the buyer was granted a right of first refusal concerning the property, which the seller subsequently leased to a third party without offering it to the original buyer first. The court determined that the seller's failure to honor the pre-emptive right constituted a breach of contract, as the lease agreement, although not a sale, still invoked the obligation to offer the property to the holder of the right of first refusal before transferring possession or use to another party, justifying the subsequent cassation of the lower court's decision that found no breach.
