Buyer's Claim for Deposit Return Rejected in Property Sale Due to Unmet Condition Precedent
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of property was terminated following the failure of the buyer to secure the necessary governmental authorization for the project for which the property was intended, despite the seller having fulfilled their obligations, leading to a dispute over the return of the deposit; the court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the buyer's claim for the deposit's return, reasoning that the condition precedent regarding administrative authorization was stipulated exclusively in the interest of the seller, meaning the buyer could not unilaterally invoke its non-fulfillment to escape the contractual obligations after the stipulated deadline for obtaining the authorization had passed.
