Contract Validity After Failed Mandatory Reconciliation
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party sued for damages, alleging that a contract, entered into after an unsuccessful attempt to reconcile, was void because the reconciliation attempt was mandatory under a prior agreement; the court rejected this claim, reasoning that the clause in the prior agreement requiring a reconciliation attempt before filing suit did not render the subsequent contract void, as the obligation was one of means rather than result, and failure to achieve reconciliation did not invalidate a subsequent transaction, meaning the contract was validly formed.
