Furthermore, a suspensive potestative negative condition could be impossible to meet before the death of the person. For example, a promise of unless the other party remarried would raise issues, as the only time when the obligee could be certain that the obligor did not remarry was at his death, at which point the payment would be of no use. This issue was resolved by the application of the cautio Mucianaattributed to Mucius Scaevola which turned the suspensive, negative and potestative condition into a resolutive, affirmative and potestative condition.A.
