What to know
- Understand exactly what must happen for the condition to be fulfilled.
- Check the deadline and who must provide proof.
- Do not assume a conditional agreement is risk-free; parties may still have duties to take reasonable steps to fulfil conditions.
- If a deadline must change, record the extension properly before expiry.
