The court granted the review, determining that a donation of land and crops did not encompass the house built upon it. The parties argued based on the specific items listed in the gratuitous disposition versus the general nature of the property. The court ruled that the house, being a separate and more valuable asset, was excluded from the donation under the principle of lesser gravity.
