A defendant, having contracted to purchase a property and paid a deposit, sought reimbursement after the sale was not finalized because a necessary prerequisite condition, stipulated as a condition precedent to the obligation to purchase, was not met by the agreed-upon deadline, arguing the failure of the condition discharged the contract; the court rejected the appeal, upholding the lower court's finding that the party who had failed to obtain the necessary authorization, which was their obligation to secure for the condition to be fulfilled, could not invoke the non-realization of that condition as a ground for rescinding the contract or demanding the return of the deposit, as they were responsible for the condition's failure.
