The court dismissed the civil action for extracontractual liability, ruling that a fundamental prerequisite is the commission of an unlawful act infringing the author's rights. The plaintiff argued for compensation based on alleged damages, but the defendant contended no such infringement occurred. The court held that without proof of an unlawful act attacking the author's rights, the claim cannot be procedurally sustained.
