The Supreme Court of Justice unanimously upheld the validity of a conventional credit assignment. The plaintiff argued that the assignment was effective because the debtor explicitly manifested their free will prior to fulfilling the obligation. The court ruled that such an express manifestation of consent prior to performance satisfies the legal requirements for a valid subrogation.
