The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the appeal regarding the validity of an 'omnibus' bail contract. The court found that such contracts violate the legal requirement that the subject matter of a juridical act must be determinable from the beginning. Consequently, the contract was declared null and void due to this fundamental defect.
