Contingent Agreement Performance and Damage Calculation
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe dispute concerned whether an agreement, which was contingent upon a subsequent regulatory approval, could be treated as fully performed for the purpose of calculating damages following its breach, despite the lack of such approval. The court reasoned that because the regulatory approval was a condition precedent to the full performance of the agreement, the breaching party could not rely on the absence of that approval to mitigate its liability for damages related to the unperformed obligations, as the failure to obtain the approval was not a superseding cause of the loss but rather a condition the breaching party was obligated to fulfill or ensure was met.
