Practice question
Two buyers purchased different, nonoverlapping lots. The deeds use similar informal street descriptions, but established surveys show distinct property. May Article1544 be applied solely because the seller is the same?
- Yes, any two sales are a double sale
- Only the deed titles matter
- All neighboring lots are the same object
- No; the same-subject-matter requirement is not established
- Only the later price controls
