A contract for the sale of land stipulated that the buyer was responsible for paying the seller's mortgage balance, and stipulated a penalty clause for failure to execute the final deed, but the buyer claimed the contract was void because the seller had failed to provide a certificate of urban planning compliance; the court rejected the appeal, holding that the urban planning certificate requirement was intended solely for the protection of the purchaser, and its absence could not be invoked by the buyer as grounds to nullify the contract, especially when the buyer had breached the contract by failing to fulfill the payment obligation, which itself triggered the penalty clause.
