The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously rejected the defendant's request to review the contract-promissory resolution. The court found that the legislative amendment to Article 442(3) of the Civil Code by DL 379/86 was intended to clarify, not eliminate, the substantive conditions set forth in Article 808 for valid resolution. Consequently, the court ruled that the plaintiff's arguments regarding the lack of statutory prerequisites for termination were invalid under the current legal framework.
