A contract was formed for the sale of real property, which included a clause stipulating that if the buyer failed to obtain the necessary financing within a specified period, the seller could unilaterally terminate the agreement and retain the deposit as liquidated damages, and the Court of Cassation upheld the validity of this termination clause, reasoning that it constituted a legitimate condition subsequent tied to the buyer's obligation to secure financing, and its fulfillment allowed the seller to enforce the agreed-upon penalty without being subject to judicial review regarding the actual extent of the damages suffered.
