Legal Reasoning Others

Principle: A condition must be complied in order to claim the benefit of an agreement.

Facts: A agrees to transfer a farm to B, if B shall not go to England within three years after the date of the agreement, his interest in the farm shall cease. B does not go to England within the term prescribed.

B‘s interest in the farm continues

B‘s interest in the farm does not continue

B has a fundamental right to go to England or not to go to England and hence the condition is illegal

The agreement between A and B is void.

Explanation:

Condition – that B must go to England within 3 years from the date of agreement.
B does not fulfill the condition because he has not complied with the condition.
Therefore, he may not claim the benefit of the agreement.
B‘s interest in the farm does not continue.
