SI CONTINGAT

SI CONTINGAT is a Latin term used in law to mean "if it happens". It was commonly used in conveyances to describe certain conditions.

Example 1: The land will be sold to John, SI CONTINGAT he pays the full amount within 30 days.

Example 2: The property will be transferred to the buyer, SI CONTINGAT the seller receives the agreed-upon amount.

These examples illustrate how SI CONTINGAT is used to describe a condition that must be met before a transaction can be completed. In the first example, John must pay the full amount within 30 days for the land to be sold to him. In the second example, the seller must receive the agreed-upon amount before the property can be transferred to the buyer. SI CONTINGAT is used to indicate that the completion of the transaction is dependent on a specific condition being met.
