This case involved a request to evict a property purchaser who had not paid all the instalments for a flat. The court had been wrong to ignore evidence that the seller may not be the owner.
Background
A seller filed a case against a purchased before the court requesting the dismissal of a sales contract and the payment of compensation. The seller said that the purchaser bought a flat from him but failed to pay he instalments in time.
The court ruled that the contract should be dismissed.
The purchaser appealed the ruling before the court of appeal. The court upheld the appealed ruling.
Decision
The buyer appealed the ruling before the court of cassation and said in his grounds of appeal that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation and that the court dismissed the contract and ordered him to vacate the flat and dismissed his defence that the seller had failed to provide evidence that he was the owner of the flat.
