23 La. Ann. 272 | La. | 1871
The plaintiff sues to annul a sale of rights and credits, on the grounds that he was intoxicated when he made the sale, and that Young, the vendee, never accepted the sale.
There is no evidence in the record to prove the first ground. The acceptance of a contract need not be expressed in it, nor is it indispensable that the act be signed by the party in whose favor it is made. The acceptance may result from his acts in availing himself of its stipulations, or in doing something which clearly indicates his accept
It is therefore ordered and adjudged that the judgment of the district court be avoided and reversed, and that there be judgment in favor of the defendant, rejecting the plaintiff’s demand, with costs of both courts.
