The second line of authority, cited in Napa Association, op. cit. cit., 98 Cal. App.3d 263, contains our decision in Doers v. Golden Gate Bridge and so on. Dist., op. cit. cit., 23 Cal.3d 180. The authors did not address the impact of late arbitration or whether a claim was filed in a timely manner. Participants questioned whether the filing of a claim by a party in light of an arbitration agreement constituted conduct so inconsistent with the exercise of the right to arbitrate that it constituted a waiver of that right. (Id., p. 185; agreement, Christensen v. Dewor Developments (1983) 33 Cal.3d 778, 782-783 [191 Cal.
Rptr. 8, 661 p.2d 1088]; Keating v Superior Court (1982) 31 Cal.3d 584, 605-607 [183 Cal. Rptr. 360, 645 p.2d 1192].) Whether a party has waived its right to arbitration by conduct inconsistent with the exercise of that right is fundamentally different from whether a condition precedent to contractual arbitration has arisen or has been legally excused. Because these topics are so different, manufacturers` reasoning is not helpful, let alone authoritative, in the question we face here. [1d] In this case, the parties` written agreement required that the right to arbitration, if any, be exercised no later than August 31, 1989. However, it was not until October 30, 1989, that the claimants requested arbitration. Consequently, they did not fulfil the condition precedent of their right to arbitrate. However, the applicants argue that the contractual condition setting the time-limit for requesting arbitration was legally excused by the defendant`s conduct. In the next section, we will examine the merits of this claim.
In summary, the contractual requirement that a party`s request for arbitration be filed within a certain period of time is a prerequisite to the right to arbitration. In the absence of legal excuses or subsequent modification of the agreement of the parties, failure to submit the dispute to arbitration within the agreed period prevents the judicial application of the right to arbitration. In this case, the claimants` failure to request arbitration in a timely manner was not legally excused, and the provisions of the contract relating to the time limit for requesting arbitration were not changed. [5] Compliance with a condition may be legally excused for a variety of reasons. (See, for example, Rest.2d, Contracts, op. cit., § 225, com. b, p. 166; 5 Williston, Contracts, op.
cit., § 676, pp. 219-223.) If a condition is legally excused, the other party`s obligation becomes unconditional and can be performed. (See, for example, Rest.2d, Contracts, loc. cit., § 225, com. c, p. 225). 167; 5 Williston, Contracts, op. cit. cit., § 676, p. 223; 3A Corbin, Contracts, loc. cit., § 752, p.
752. 480.) Middle English plates, probably variant of bankruptcies “fold, flatten entry 1”, by generalization of the past and past participle form plate, flattid, formed by analogy to thratte, past threten “to threaten, threaten” For the reasons set out above, we conclude that the condition precedent (the request for timely arbitration) is neither legally excused nor by amending the The parties` agreement on the issue of arbitration has been amended. [6a] The plaintiffs submit that the defendant`s representation to postpone the voluntary settlement conference legally exempted them from fulfilling the contractual condition that the right to arbitration be exercised no later than August 31, 1989. The plaintiffs assert that the respondent`s promise to proceed with the debt restructuring constituted a “waiver” of the condition in question and that the defendants were therefore prevented from arguing that the plaintiffs` failure to comply with the condition constituted an obstacle to arbitration. We disagree. Note: This etymology is proposed by the Oxford English Dictionary, third edition, after E. J. Dobson, English Pronunciation, 1500-1700, vol. 2, p.
782. The Middle English Dictionary lists flat as a separate verb, which is considered a verbal derivative of flat “flat, smooth” with “meaning influenced by bankruptcy”. [1b] If, as in this case, the parties have agreed that a request for arbitration must be made within a certain period of time, that request is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before the contractual obligation to submit the dispute to a [6 Cal. 4th 314] Arbitration arises. [3b] The non-occurrence of a condition precedent may be excused for a number of legally recognized reasons. However, if a party has not fulfilled a condition within its authority, this does not excuse that it has not waived any rights under the agreement. (See 5 Williston, Contracts (3rd ed. 1961) § 676, pp.
219-223.) A finding to the contrary would undermine contract law by giving one party the power to unilaterally convert the contingent obligation of the other party into an independent and unconditional obligation, notwithstanding the terms of the agreement. [1c] It is therefore contrary to the law of private arbitration agreements, as the claimants do in this case, to argue that failure to comply with the contractual requirement of a request for timely arbitration has no effect unless there is an intention to abandon the submission of the dispute to arbitration. In the Napa Association case, op. cit. cit., 98 Cal. App.3d 263, the Tribunal did not distinguish between cases in which either the question whether arbitration had been requested in good time or whether conduct was incompatible with the exercise of the right to arbitrate constituted a waiver of that right. that address the consequences of not filing a request for arbitration in a timely manner. [4] In accordance with applicable law, we believe that [6 Cal. 4th 319] In the absence of a legal excuse, a party`s failure to request arbitration in a timely manner results in the contractual loss of the right to force arbitration. We conclude that, unless a Party is legally excused, it cannot impose arbitration if it has not made a request in a timely manner, that the absence of intention to waive the submission of a dispute to arbitration is not a legal excuse, and that, in such a case, failure to make a request in a timely manner, was not excused by waiver or estoppel due to the conduct of the other party. We further conclude that, in this case, the time limit for filing a request for arbitration was not altered by a subsequent amendment to the Convention.
We therefore uphold the judgment of the Court of Appeal. Nevertheless, U.S. troops occupied Cuba for several years after the war. Under General Leonard Wood, the military government organized a school system, organized finances, and made significant progress in eliminating yellow fever. VIII. that the Government of Cuba, as an additional assurance, will enshrine the above-mentioned provisions in a permanent treaty with the United States. The Congress of the United States of America, by an Act of March 2, 1901, determined as follows: The second line of authority concerns matters other than the consequences of not seeking timely arbitration. These decisions include those relating to arbitration agreements which, expressly or ipso jure (Civil Code, § 1657), provide that the request for conciliation is made within a reasonable time. (See, for example, Martinez Typographical Union v. Silversun Corp., supra, 256 Cal. App. 2d 255, 260, and A.D.
Hoppe Co. v. Fred Katz Constr. Co., supra, 249 Cal. App. 2d 154, 161.) The determination of what constitutes a reasonable period of time depends on the circumstances of the parties, the nature of the transaction and the facts of the case. (Spear v. California State Auto. Assn. (1992) 2 Cal. 4th 1035, 1043 [9 Cal.
Rptr. 2d 381, 831 P.2d 821], cites Sawday v. Vista Irrigation Dist. (1966) 64 Cal. 2d 833, 836 [52 Cal. Rptr. 1, 415 P.2d 816].) But deciding whether the request for arbitration was filed in a timely manner is not the same as determining the consequences of a late claim. “VI. that the Isle of Pines be omitted from the proposed constitutional boundaries of Cuba, leaving its ownership to future adaptation by treaty.
