Contingent contracts become enforceable when contingency occurs or becomes impossible. Void agreements: Against law, public policy (wagering agreements), restraint of trade, marriage conditions, consideration/objects, uncertain terms. Enforceability requires: Valid formation, lawful object, capacity parties, free consent, possible performance. Essential terms: Parties, consideration, subject matter, performance terms must be clear. Conditions precedent and subsequent affect performance obligations. Time of performance: Strict compliance required unless waived; reasonable time if not specified. Examination of case law on impossibility of performance: Doctrine of frustration applies when performance becomes impossible through no fault.
