The Supreme Court of Justice declared the lower court's judgment null because it addressed issues not raised by the appellants. The court held that non-pecuniary damages are compensable in contractual liability by analogously applying Article 496(1) of the Civil Code. Consequently, the appeal was partially allowed to correct the procedural defect while affirming the right to moral damages.
