The court dismissed the third-party possession defense raised by the embargante. The embargante argued that ignorance of the facts led to the defense's expiration under Article 1039 of the Civil Procedure Code, while the embargador contended the exception should be proven by the embargante under Article 342, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code. The court ruled that the embargante failed to prove they were a stranger to the seizing act, which is the constitutive fact required for third-party possession, thereby rendering the defense inadmissible.
