Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A contractual promise to pay a sum of money upon the fulfillment of a condition precedent, which is itself subject to the debtor's sole discretion as to whether it will ever be realized, is deemed a potestative condition and renders the underlying obligation void due to the lack of a definitive commitment, as the debtor is not bound to an enforceable obligation until they arbitrarily decide to fulfill the condition.
