Examples
A condition subsequent may be either an event or a state of affairs that must either (1) occur or (2) fail to continue to occur.
An example of the first, a condition that must occur to bring an end to something else:
- "When I run out of fuel, the fire will die down."
An example of the second, a condition that must fail to occur to bring an end to something else:
- "So long as I have fuel, the fire will continue."
In both cases, running out of fuel is a condition subsequent to the continuance of the fire.
