The court dismissed the request for a writ of review regarding the possession of property based on a promissory contract. The plaintiff argued that the promise constituted a legitimate title for detaining the object, while the opposing party contended otherwise. The court ruled that a promissory contract lacks the necessary effect to justify possession, establishing that only the executed contract of sale serves as a legitimate title.
