Constructive Fulfillment in Contracts

The law says a condition is met even if it never actually happened. Imagine we have a deal: I'll buy

your car, but only if it passes a safety inspection. Then, wanting to back

out, I secretly pay the mechanic to fail your car on purpose. Under the law,

this is called "constructive fulfillment." Since I voluntarily prevented the condition from being met,

the court will treat the condition as fulfilled anyway. That means I can't use the failed inspection

as an excuse. The deal is back on, and I'm now obligated to buy your car.

You can't sabotage a contract to escape it.
