A contract stipulated a sale of movable property contingent upon the buyer obtaining financing by a specific date; when the buyer failed to secure the loan by the deadline, the seller purported to unilaterally terminate the agreement, leading to litigation regarding the contract's validity. The court overturned the lower court's decision, reasoning that the stated financing deadline was a resolutory condition (condition suspensive) that, by its nature, required the defaulting party to have diligently sought the financing; absent proof that the buyer made reasonable efforts to obtain the loan, the seller could not validly invoke the breach of the condition to unilaterally dissolve the contract.
