The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by the defendant against a lower court's partial recognition of the plaintiff's claim. The lower court acknowledged the debt but reserved the right to demand payment from a third party if the defendant failed to pay. The Supreme Court ruled that the defendant's declaration did not legally condition the judgment on the third party's payment, as it merely admitted the underlying facts while expressing a personal preference regarding future payment sources. Consequently, the court found no legal error in the lower court's decision to treat the recognition as unconditional.
