  • 06/10/2020

The Supreme Court, Section II, with the Ordinance no. 19510/2020 sanctioned the nullity of the preliminary contract if the surety guarantee, pursuant to art. 2 of Legislative Decree 20/06/2005, n. 122, was issued by the manufacturer for a lower amount than the sums paid by the promising buyer as a deposit without the works having been completed. In the case of a sale involving properties to be built, in fact, art. 2 of Legislative Decree 20/06/2005, n. 122 provides that the manufacturer, upon signing the preliminary agreement, must issue a surety policy of the value corresponding to the deposit paid by the promising buyer and this under penalty of nullity of the contract.
