The court dismissed the appeal regarding the validity of a security given for a future obligation. The plaintiff argued the security was void because the specific debt was not yet defined, while the defendant contended the obligation's source was identifiable. The court ruled that although the obligation is future, its title or determination method must be known at the time of the security's creation to avoid nullity.
