A dispute arose concerning a contract for the sale of a commercial property, where the purchaser, after the promise to sell was signed, discovered serious defects, including structural issues and encroachments, leading them to refuse to finalize the sale and seek restitution of the deposit. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the contract for the sale of a building inherently implies a warranty against hidden defects that render the property unfit for its intended use, and since the discovered defects were substantial and unknown to the buyer at the time of the promise, the seller was in breach of their warranty obligation, thus justifying the buyer's refusal to proceed and the recovery of the initial payment.
