The Supreme Court of Justice annulled the lower court's judgment because the answers provided to the factual questions were obscure and insufficient. The relator argued that such defective responses justify the annulment, while the opposing side contended that the use of the specific procedural faculty under Article 712, paragraph 2, of the Civil Procedure Code constitutes a matter of fact immune from censure. The court ruled that the procedural defect in the factual record necessitated the annulment to ensure a proper trial.
