AI generated

The court granted the review, confirming the right of the innocent party to rescind the contract upon the occurrence of the specified event. The plaintiff argued that the 'reversion clause' constituted an express resolutive clause under the Civil Code, while the defendant contested the validity of the termination. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, establishing that such clauses empower the non-breaching party to unilaterally resolve the agreement.
