Practice question: Employment Subject to a Suspensive Condition

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A valid accepted agreement requires an objectively specified professional authorization and fixes a later start date. Authorization is obtained, but the date has not arrived. Is the fixed date necessarily an unfulfilled uncertain condition?
  1. Yes; every future date is uncertain in the legal sense.
  2. The authorization automatically deletes the start date.
  3. Acceptance proves wages were already earned.
  4. No; a day certain is a period and must be distinguished from the fulfilled condition.
  5. No obligations can ever be created before any future date.
