BA party who prevents the other party from performing a contract condition cannot then claim breach for non-performance of that condition✓ Correct
CBrokers cannot claim commission if they actively prevented a sale
DThe doctrine only applies in commercial real estate transactions
Explanation
Under the prevention of performance doctrine, a party cannot benefit from their own wrongful prevention of a contractual condition. For example, if a seller prevents a buyer from completing inspections, the seller cannot then claim the buyer failed to meet the inspection condition. This principle applies in Arizona real estate law.
