Explanation of Article 334
The article clarifies that the entitled party may approve the sale that took place between the seller and the buyer; thus, the sold item is transferred to the buyer, and the seller, through subsequent approval, acts as a representative of the entitled party in concluding the sale contract with the buyer, not only from the time of approval but from the time of the contract's conclusion; because the approval has retroactive effect. In this case, the entitled party may claim the sale price from the seller, and the application of this article should consider what is stipulated in Article (359) regarding the sale of another's property; the approval should not harm the rights of others. The buyer has the right to request the annulment of the sale before the approval; if the sale is annulled before the entitled party's approval, it has no effect.
