REPORT: ARTICLE 1184 1185

ART. 1184. The condition that some event happen at a determinate time shall
extinguish the obligation as soon as the time expires or if it has become indubitable
that the event will not take place. (1117)

Positive Obligation.
This article refers to positive (suspensive) condition - the happening of an event at a
determinate time. The obligation is extinguished:
1) As soon as the time expires without the event taking place; or
2) As soon as it has become indubitable that the event will not take place
although the time specified has not expired.

ART. 1185. The condition that some event will not happen at a determinate time
shall render the obligation effective from the moment the time indicated has
elapsed, or if it has become evident that the event cannot occur. If no time has been
fixed, the condition shall be deemed fulfilled at such time as may have probably
been contemplated, bearing in mind the nature of the obligation. (1118)

Negative Obligation.
This provision speaks of a negative condition - that an event will not happen at a
determinate time. (see Art. 879.) The obligation shall become effective and binding:
1) from the moment the time indicated has elapsed without the event taking
place; or
2) from the moment it has become evident that the event can not occur,
although the time indicated has not yet elapsed.
If no time is fixed, the circumstances shall be considered to arrive at the intention of
the parties. This rule may also be applied to a positive condition.
