Prospective Buyer's Unilateral Modification of Financing Terms Voids Promise to Sell
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe case involved a dispute over the validity of a promise to sell real estate, where the prospective buyer sought to compel the sale after unilaterally making modifications to the initial terms, specifically regarding the financing conditions, which the seller contested as a material breach of the preliminary agreement. The appellate court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the prospective buyer's unilateral modifications to the stipulated financing terms constituted a rejection of the original offer and amounted to a counter-offer, thereby preventing the buyer from enforcing the specific performance of the initial promise to sell, as the original conditions precedent had not been met or accepted by the seller in their final form.
