[License-discuss] End of CAL discussion? Paging Arthur Brock.

[Alexander Terekhov]

It would be really nice if CAL.next would stop calling unconditional
covenants/duties/obligations "conditions".

CHAPTER 3. Conditional Obligations [1434 - 1442]  ( Chapter 3 enacted 1872.
)

1434.  An obligation is conditional, when the rights or duties of any party
thereto depend upon the occurrence of an uncertain event.
(Enacted 1872.)

1435.  Conditions may be precedent, concurrent, or subsequent.
(Enacted 1872.)

1436.  A condition precedent is one which is to be performed before some
right dependent thereon accrues, or some act dependent thereon is performed.
(Enacted 1872.)

1437.  Conditions concurrent are those which are mutually dependent, and
are to be performed at the same time.
(Enacted 1872.)

1438.  A condition subsequent is one referring to a future event, upon the
happening of which the obligation becomes no longer binding upon the other
party, if he chooses to avail himself of the condition.
(Enacted 1872.)

1439.  Before any party to an obligation can require another party to
perform any act under it, he must fulfill all conditions precedent thereto
imposed upon himself; and must be able and offer to fulfill all conditions
concurrent so imposed upon him on the like fulfillment by the other party,
except as provided by the next section.
(Enacted 1872.)

1440.  If a party to an obligation gives notice to another, before the
latter is in default, that he will not perform the same upon his part, and
does not retract such notice before the time at which performance upon his
part is due, such other party is entitled to enforce the obligation without
previously performing or offering to perform any conditions upon his part
in favor of the former party.
(Enacted 1872.)

1441.  A condition in a contract, the fulfillment of which is impossible or
unlawful, within the meaning of the Article on the Object of Contracts, or
which is repugnant to the nature of the interest created by the contract,
is void.
(Enacted 1872.)

1442.  A condition involving a forfeiture must be strictly interpreted
against the party for whose benefit it is created.
(Enacted 1872.)
