COURT OF APPEAL. 20 FEBRUARY 1918. MM. Ahmad Mussa Pasha (Pres.); Soudan, Hussein Darwish Bey (JJ.). HIGAZIA AND OTHERS v. ALY KILANI AND OTHERS. Sale—Last illness—Old age. (Arts. 254 and 255 C.C.) Old age alone cannot be considered as the last illness of a person. Consequently, a sale made by a man in old age, before he was seized with the illness which ended in death, is valid independently of its ratification by his heirs.
