Subject of Dispute: Invalidation of the Apartment Purchase and Sale Agreement and Cancellation of Property Ownership Registration.
Main Arguments of the Court:
The court deviates from previous practice and indicates that a representative may act in the interests of heirs even after the principal’s death, if this is related to urgent matters or prevention of damages. In this case, there is no evidence that the representative acted contrary to the heirs’ interests, therefore the contract cannot be declared invalid. Moreover, the court believes that the plaintiff should have filed a vindication claim, rather than challenging the contract.
Court Decision: Reject the claim for invalidation of the purchase and sale agreement and cancellation of property ownership registration, recovering court costs from the plaintiff in favor of the defendant.
