Sale of Land Subject to Resolutory Condition of Lifetime Support
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of land, where the seller retained a usufruct interest for life, was subject to dissolution if the buyer failed to perform the attached obligations, specifically the obligation to provide lifetime support to the seller. The buyer, having failed to fulfill the support obligation, sought to enforce the sale, but the court of first instance upheld the seller's right to have the sale rescinded. The high court confirmed that the obligation to provide support was a resolutory condition of the sale agreement, and the seller's failure to provide the agreed-upon support constituted a material breach justifying the judicial resolution of the sale contract, thus allowing the seller to reclaim the property.
