A contract for the sale of land required the seller to obtain a government authorization for the transfer within a specified period, failing which the contract would be null and void, and the seller subsequently failed to secure this authorization within the stipulated time, leading the buyer to sue for the nullity of the sale. The court upheld the lower court's decision that the seller's failure to obtain the necessary authorization within the agreed timeframe constituted a breach of a suspensive condition, automatically nullifying the sale as stipulated in the agreement, thereby dismissing the seller's appeal which attempted to argue the condition was purely potestative and thus invalid, confirming that the condition was legally tied to an external regulatory requirement, making its failure a valid ground for nullification.
