Mining Agreement Lapse and Tacit Renewal
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party who had entered into an agreement concerning the operation of a mine, which included provisions for payment upon extraction, subsequently sued to have the agreement annulled on the grounds that the operations had not commenced within the stipulated time, despite the lack of explicit consent from the other party to a formal termination or extension, and the court affirmed the lower court's decision to reject the claim, reasoning that the mere expiration of the time stipulated for the commencement of operations did not automatically void the agreement if the parties had continued to act as if it remained in force, suggesting a tacit renewal or waiver of the strict deadline.
