California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 1 — Obligations in General, Title 2 — Interpretation of Obligations, Chapter 3 — Conditional Obligations, Section 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.

Notes

Defines a condition subsequent as one tied to a future event whose occurrence makes an obligation no longer binding on the other party if that party chooses to rely on the condition. The obligation therefore ends only upon the event and the protected party’s election to invoke it.
