la partie qui y avait intérêt

French term or phrase: la partie qui y avait intérêt
Hello
I can't understand what the party had an interest in.

Here is the full sentence:
Toute condition suspensive est réputée accomplie, lorsque sa réalisation est empêchée par la partie qui y avait intérêt.

This is my attempt at the translation:
All conditions precedent are considered accomplished, when their completion is prevented by the party who had an interest in (preventing) them

I'm not sure if the party had an interest in the condition precedent, or rather in preventing the fulfillment of the condition precedent.

Thanks for your help

Thanks for all the answers which all helped get me on the right track. I have chosen this one for the particular wording incorporating Tony M's slight change. I particularly appreciated the answers to the underlying question "why was there an interest in preventing the sale", which was of course to avoid paying the penalty

interested party


Explanation:
the interested party, the party in interest, the real party in interest - all common EN legal expressions meaning the party that would benefit if the requested relief were granted. In this instance, lawyers would understand the "interested party" was the one that would have benefited from fulfillment of the condition frustrated by that same party. I would just ignore the FR "y"

agree  Tony M: It is specifically the person who would benefit from the condition precedent's NOT being fulfilled — e.g. purchase is conditional on obtaining a loan, then prospective shoots themselves in the foot so they won't get the loan, to escape from sale.borrower

par la partie qui y avait intérêt
by the party in whose interest it was


Explanation:
Literal and unambiguous.

The party's "interest" is of course in being able to invoke the "condition precedent" so as to wriggle out of (e.g.) their purchase commitment without penalty.
