Seller's Unilateral Change of Notary Voids Condition for Forced Land Sale Execution
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract for the sale of land stipulated that the formal deed would be executed before a specific notary chosen by the buyer, but the seller unilaterally designated another notary, leading the buyer to seek judicial resolution to compel the sale. The court held that the designation of a specific notary in a preliminary sales agreement constitutes an essential condition of the mutual consent of the parties, and the unilateral refusal by the seller to adhere to this choice prevents the fulfillment of the condition precedent necessary for the finalization of the sale, thus justifying the rejection of the buyer's claim for forced execution.
