A party contracted to purchase a building with a defined area, but subsequent measurement revealed a smaller area, leading the purchaser to sue for rescission of the sale based on a deficit in the promised area. The court of final appeal quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that when a sale is concluded based on the measure of the property, the purchaser is entitled to seek rescission if the actual area is less than that specified in the contract by a proportion exceeding one-twentieth, pursuant to the relevant civil code provisions, and the lower court erred by not definitively establishing whether the deficit met this statutory threshold.
