Buyer's Failure to Fulfill Subsequent Obligations Justifies Seller's Withdrawal from Second Agreement
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA buyer, who had agreed to purchase an apartment on the condition that a prior sale agreement with another party be terminated, sued the seller for specific performance after the prior agreement was formally canceled; the Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision denying the request, reasoning that the suspensive condition precedent to the second sale—the definitive termination of the first agreement—was fulfilled, but the subsequent failure of the buyer to present the required documentation or take the necessary steps to finalize the purchase within the stipulated timeframe constituted a failure to perform their own obligations, thereby justifying the seller's subsequent unilateral withdrawal from the contract.
