The Supreme Court of Justice annulled the second-instance agreement due to a total omission of factual findings established in the first instance. The appellant argued the decision was null because the court failed to describe the proven facts found by the lower tribunal. The court ruled that such an omission violates procedural requirements, necessitating the case's return for reform.
