Buyer's Failure to Use Best Efforts to Secure Loan Voids Contract Withdrawal

A party, having contracted to purchase a property on the condition precedent of obtaining a loan, subsequently attempted to withdraw from the agreement by claiming they could not secure financing, despite evidence suggesting they had not diligently pursued the necessary loan applications or had actively avoided meeting the condition. The court held that the obligation to obtain the loan was an obligation de moyen (best efforts), not an obligation de résultat (guaranteed outcome), and since the buyer failed to demonstrate they had made the required diligent efforts to secure the financing, they could not validly invoke the non-fulfillment of the condition to escape their contractual obligations, thus affirming the lower court's decision against the buyer.
