The Supreme Court of Justice granted the request for specific performance of a contract promise. The plaintiff argued that the deposit rule applicable at the time of signing should govern the contract's effects. The court ruled that the law in force at the moment of contract formation, specifically Article 830 of the Civil Code as of 1980, regulates the situation.
