Facts of the Case
Background
The parties negotiated the sale of immovable property in October 2006. After initial negotiations, a written agreement was prepared but the defendant raised concerns about payment terms and refused to sign transfer documents. The plaintiff claimed the defendant breached the agreement while the defendant argued no valid agreement existed due to conflicting terms regarding payment and transfer procedures.
