A legacy is given to A on condition that he marries with the consent of B, C and D. A obtains their unconditional assent to his marriage with E, but they later capriciously withdraw it. A marries E. What is the result?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Illustration (iv) to section 128 holds that "A has fulfilled the condition". A had obtained the unconditional assent required, and a capricious withdrawal afterwards does not undo that. Section 128 looks to substantial compliance, which A achieved.
