Seller v. Buyer (Novation of Reservation of Title)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA buyer, who had purchased a movable property under a contract that reserved ownership to the seller until full payment, brought an action to recover the property from a third party who had acquired possession, arguing that the ownership had not transferred due to non-payment, but the appellate court upheld the lower court's decision dismissing the claim because the buyer had subsequently executed a new payment guarantee in favor of the seller, which constituted a novation of the original obligation, thereby transferring ownership to the buyer before the property was transferred to the third party, a decision affirmed by the high court.
