Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that Louisiana courts avoid construing contractual provisions as suspensive conditions whenever possible
• stating that if there are ambiguous provisions in a contract, they “must be interpreted against the party who prepared the agreement” (citing La. Civ. Code art. 2056)
• finding that to construe an agreement as requiring one party to wait for payment until a condition is fulfilled, which might never occur, would give the agreement “an unreasonable construction which the parties did not intend”
