The case concerned a dispute over the execution of a contract for the sale of an annuity, where the buyer failed to make payments as stipulated, leading the seller to seek termination of the contract and repossession of the annuity capital. The court held that the stipulation in the contract making the entire capital immediately due upon late payment of a single annuity installment was a valid contractual penalty clause, and since the buyer failed to demonstrate that the seller had waived the right to enforce this clause by accepting late payments previously, the lower court was justified in upholding the contract's termination and ordering the buyer to repay the capital amount to the seller.
