    Pedro promised to give his grandson a car if he passed the bar exam. When his grandson passed, Pedro refused to give the car, claiming the condition was potestative. However, the condition was not potestative as it did not depend solely on Pedro's will. Even if it was potestative, it would still be valid since it depended on the grandson's actions, not Pedro's.

    Conditional Obligations (2000)

    Pedro promised to give his grandson a car if the latter will pass the bar examinations. When his
    grandson passed the said examinations, Pedro refused to give the car on the ground that the
    condition was a purely potestative one. Is he correct or not?

    SUGGESTED ANSWER:

    No, he is not correct. First of all, the condition is not purely potestative, because it does not
    depend on the sole will of one of the parties. Secondly, even if it were, it would be valid because
    it depends on the sole will of the creditor (the donee) and not of the debtor (the donor).
