A contract stipulated the sale of an immovable property with a condition precedent requiring the buyer to obtain municipal authorization for the construction of a building within a specified time, which the buyer failed to secure due to the municipality's refusal, leading the seller to terminate the agreement and retain the deposit; the court of appeal confirmed the validity of the termination and retention, reasoning that the condition precedent, dependent solely on the buyer's diligence in applying, had lapsed because the buyer did not act with sufficient speed to ensure the authorization was granted before the deadline, thus constituting a failure by the buyer to fulfill their obligation.
