Practice question
An accepted valid agreement contains a first assessment and a second objective condition. Applicant passes the first and is ready for the second; employer deliberately blocks the second solely to prevent effectivity, then invokes its nonfulfillment. Which is sound?
- Passing the first authorizes arbitrary prevention of the second.
- Article 1186’s constructive-fulfillment principle must be considered for the condition deliberately prevented.
- An employer may always defeat its own agreed condition without consequence.
- Every pending condition necessarily ends the contract.
- Only the number of pages determines prevention.
