Art. 1870. La venta de una cosa que al tiempo de perfeccionarse el contrato se supone existente i no existe, no produce efecto alguno.

Si faltaba una parte considerable de ella al tiempo de perfeccionarse el contrato, podrá el comprador, a su arbitrio, desistir del contrato, o darlo por subsistente, abonando el precio a justa tasación.

El que vendió a sabiendas lo que en el todo o en una parte considerable no existía, resarcirá los perjuicios al comprador de buena fe.
