Questão jurídica principal
Whether the taking of 12 pregnant cows constituted theft because ownership had passed under the 2007 contract
Decisão extraída
Ownership had not passed; the contract was only obligatory and no possessory constitutum was agreed.
Fundamentação extraída
A sales contract alone does not transfer ownership. Transfer requires transfer of possession or a valid constitutum possessorium agreement, which was neither found nor shown.
