The court partially revoked the lower judgment, establishing that a breach of a sales contract by non-performance imposes an obligation to indemnify the injured party. The material facts involved a promise to sell and buy where the promisor failed to complete the transaction, leading the appellant to argue for damages. The court ruled that the injured party must be compensated for the difference between the current market price and the promised price, regardless of whether the promisor purchased a substitute property.

SUMÁRIO

I - A violação do interesse contratual positivo, pela não concretização do negociado contrato de compra e venda, determina o dever de indemnizar a parte eventualmente lesada com essa violação.

II - Deve ressarcir-se o dano correspondente à diferença entre o preço actual e o prometido, mesmo que o promitente-comprador não haja chegado a comprar outro prédio em substituição do prometido.
