A contractor, having failed to secure the necessary municipal authorization before commencing construction work, subsequently sought to recover the costs incurred from the property owner based on an implied mandate, but the Court of Cassation overturned the lower court's decision, reasoning that an agreement requiring an illegal act, such as construction without the mandatory administrative permit, is null and void, thus precluding any claim for payment based on a presumed mandate for that unlawful activity.
