A quick definition of compulsory condition:

A compulsory condition is something that must happen before a promise or obligation can be fulfilled. It can be a specific event or action that is required in a contract or agreement. For example, if someone promises to pay for a service, the condition may be that the service must be completed first. If the condition is not met, the promise may not have to be fulfilled. It's like a rule that needs to be followed before something else can happen.

A more thorough explanation:

Compulsory Condition

A compulsory condition is an uncertain event that triggers or negates a duty to perform a promised action. It can be a stipulation or prerequisite in a contract, will, or other instrument, constituting the essence of the instrument. For example, if Jones promises to pay Smith $500 for repairing a car, Smith's failure to repair the car relieves Jones of the promise to pay. A compulsory condition can be affirmative, casual, collateral, concurrent, constructive, dependent, disjunctive, inherent, lawful, mixed, negative, positive, or suspensive.

  • If a tenant promises to pay rent on a certain day, paying rent on that day is a compulsory condition.
  • If a contract states that a party must deliver goods by a certain date, delivering the goods by that date is a compulsory condition.
  • If a will states that a beneficiary must reach a certain age before receiving an inheritance, reaching that age is a compulsory condition.

These examples illustrate how a compulsory condition is an uncertain event that must occur before a duty to perform a promised action arises. If the condition is not met, the promised action does not have to be performed.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
