Which of the following is NOT a component of a condition subsequent clause?

1. What is to be done?

2. Why it must be done?

3. Who is to pay for it?

4. Within what time limit?

5. When it must be done?

6. Who will ensure completion?

The correct answer is: Why it must be done?

The option indicating "Why it must be done?" is not a component of a condition subsequent clause. A condition subsequent clause typically outlines specific actions or obligations that must take place after a contract is executed, without delving into the reasoning behind those actions. A condition subsequent focuses on pragmatic elements like what actions need to be taken, by whom these actions must be carried out, the timeframe within which they must occur, and who will bear the costs associated with them. This ensures clarity and enforceability with respect to contractual obligations. However, the rationale behind why such actions are necessary does not influence the structure or the enforceability of the clause, making it irrelevant to its core components.
