Questão jurídica principal
Whether the purchase options agreed in the 18 February 1986 deed were validly created inter partes without land-register entry.
Decisão extraída
The purchase options were validly created with obligatory effect upon execution of the deed; land-register entry was not a constitutive condition.
Fundamentação extraída
The text of the deed granted the options 'herewith' and only made exercisability dependent on the grantor dying without descendants. The clause about the options 'beginning with entry in the land register' referred to the duration of the registration period, not to the birth of the right. The notice withdrawing registration was consistent because the registration would have strengthened the beneficiaries only vis-à-vis third parties.
