AI generated

The court dismissed the plaintiff's request for the right of retention, ruling that specific execution of the sales contract transfers ownership to the buyer. Since the buyer acquired full title through this specific execution, the legal basis for retaining the property no longer existed. The court held that once ownership is granted via specific execution, the right of retention is extinguished as the holder of that right is no longer the owner.

SUMÁRIO

Atribuído o direito de propriedade ao próprio promitente comprador, por via da execução específica, desaparece o direito de retenção, na medida em que a propriedade foi adquirida pelo titular desse direito.
