Purchaser v. Seller: Suspensive Condition in Land Sale

An individual, having agreed to purchase a plot of land with the stipulation that the transfer of ownership would only occur after a specific legal requirement concerning the land's prior expropriation had been met, sought judicial review when the seller attempted to enforce the sale immediately despite the condition precedent remaining unfulfilled. The court ruled against the purchaser, reasoning that the agreed-upon condition was suspensive, meaning the obligation to transfer ownership was contingent upon the prior fulfillment of the expropriation requirement, and since that prerequisite had not occurred, the seller could not be compelled to finalize the transfer at that time.
