Enforceability of Contingent Contractual Obligations
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contractual obligation to transfer ownership of property, contingent upon the simultaneous transfer of a reciprocal payment, was deemed unenforceable when the party obligated to transfer the property failed to perform their obligation, as the court reasoned that mutual obligations under a contract are interdependent, meaning a party cannot legally demand performance from the other if they themselves have not fulfilled their corresponding obligation.
