Question juridique clé
Whether the architects' fee claim was subject to a suspensive condition requiring a building permit.
Solution extraite
Even assuming the fee obligation depended on a building permit, the condition was deemed fulfilled because the defendant wrongfully prevented the project from being filed.
Motifs extraits
The court interpreted the parties' arrangement and held that art. 156 CO applies where a party, contrary to good faith, prevents the condition's occurrence; the permit would likely have been obtainable absent the defendant's refusal to approve filing.
