condition precedent, concurrent and subsequent

Precedent: must occur before a duty arises; concurrent: both performances due at the same time, so each party must tender to put the other in breach (R.2d § 234); subsequent: an event that discharges a duty already in force (the Restatement treats it as a condition that terminates a duty).

condición precedente, concurrente y subsecuente

Precedente: debe ocurrir antes de que nazca la obligación; concurrente: ambas prestaciones vencen a la vez, así que cada parte debe ofrecer cumplir para poner a la otra en mora (R.2d § 234); subsecuente: evento que extingue una obligación ya vigente. Equivalen a las condiciones suspensiva y resolutoria.
