English translation of the principle
The absence from a contract for the sale of a commercial establishment of a statement of the business's tangible and intangible elements.

To regard the contract as a contract for the sale of a business, the thing sold need not contain all the business's tangible and intangible elements; it suffices that it contains those essential according to the type of activity. Example.
