The court allowed the appellant's request to revoke the gift contract, ruling that such revocation constitutes a specific exception to the general principle of binding contracts. The appellant argued that the donor's change of mind justified revocation, while the respondent contended that the contract's stability should prevent such reversal. The court decided in favor of the appellant because gift contracts are legally treated as distinct from ordinary obligations, permitting revocation under specific statutory conditions.
