AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice annulled a lower court decision that failed to rule on the buyer's request for specific performance of a sales contract. The buyer argued that the seller's refusal to deliver the property violated their contractual rights, while the lower court omitted any pronouncement on this specific claim. The court held that such omission renders the lower court's judgment null and void, as the buyer is entitled to the specific performance of the contract.
