The court dismissed the donee's request to resolve the contract of onerous donation, ruling that the burden of proving the donor's breach lies with the donee. Although the donor initially hindered the donee's ability to fulfill obligations and eventually made performance impossible, the donee did not formally constitute itself in default. Consequently, the court held that without proof of the donor's specific breach, the donee cannot legally terminate the agreement.

SUMÁRIO

I - Cabe ao autor provar o alegado incumprimento dos encargos, fundamento do seu pedido de resolução do contrato de doação.

II - Tendo o doador começado por dificultar ao donatario o cumprimento dos encargos a que se vinculou, e acabando por impossibilitar esse cumprimento, o donatario não se constituiu em mora.
