MADDE 170 · I. Genel olarak

Bir sözleşmenin hüküm ifade etmesi, gerçekleşip gerçekleşmeyeceği bilinmeyen bir olguya bırakılmışsa, sözleşme geciktirici koşula bağlanmış olur.

Aksi kararlaştırılmamışsa, geciktirici koşula bağlı sözleşme, ancak koşulun gerçekleştiği andan başlayarak hüküm ifade eder.
