dependent covenants

dependent covenants
Covenants made by the parties to a deed or agreement which are of such character that the act covenanted to be performed enters into the whole consideration for the covenant or promise on the other part, or where the acts or covenants of the parties are concurrent and are to be performed at the same time, so that neither party can maintain an action against the other without first proving full performance on his part. 20 Am J2d Cov § 8. A "dependent covenant" in a contract for the sale of land is one which depends upon the prior performance of some act or condition or, as otherwise defined, an agreement to do or omit to do something with reference to a thing on which it depends and to which it relates. 55 Am J1st V & P § 102.
