The provision
The condition shall be deemed fulfilled when the obligor voluntarily prevents its fulfillment. (1119)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
Treats a condition as already fulfilled when the person obligated deliberately prevents it from happening. A debtor cannot escape an obligation by intentionally blocking the condition that would trigger it; the law simply deems the condition met.
