A contract for the sale of land was subject to a condition precedent requiring official administrative authorization within a specified timeframe, and when that authorization was not obtained within the stipulated period, the seller refused to proceed with the sale, leading the buyer to sue for specific performance; the court held that the failure to obtain the necessary administrative approval within the fixed deadline, which was essential to the formation of the contract, meant the condition precedent had lapsed, rendering the contract null and void, thus upholding the lower court's decision rejecting the buyer's claim.
