Buyer Seeks Nullification of Sale Due to Lack of Prior Municipal Authorization; High Court Upholds Sale Despite Initial Absence

Buyer Seeks Nullification of Sale Due to Lack of Prior Municipal Authorization; High Court Upholds Sale Despite Initial Absence: A dispute arose concerning a real estate transaction where a buyer, having signed a preliminary agreement, subsequently sought to have the sale declared null and void on the grounds that the necessary municipal authorization for the building construction mentioned in the agreement was not produced prior to the final contract, leading the lower court to annul the sale; however, the high court overturned this ruling, reasoning that the requirement for prior authorization, while an obligation for the seller to fulfill, did not constitute a condition precedent to the formation of the sale contract itself, meaning its subsequent fulfillment by the seller validated the agreement despite the initial absence.
