HAWTHORNE, Justice
(dissenting).
The Court of Appeal stated that the issues raised in this appeal required it “to enter that vague and uncertain twilight zone of our jurisprudence bearing upon the definition and application of the potestative *315condition”: In support of this “conclusion of uncertainty” it quoted and cited writings on the subject by eminent legal scholars.1 The opinion of the majority of this court in the instant case to me in no way clarifies or makes certain what has been recognized to be uncertain in the existing jurisprudence, and leaves me more confused than ever. In my view the Court of Appeal, 129 So.2d 601, offers a better solution of the problem, and its judgment should be affirmed.
