Dans l'équivalent français, le qualificatif «résoluble» doit s'entendre au sens restreint de «qui est sujet à se résoudre» : il s'agit de résolution automatique dès la réalisation de l'éventualité prévue. À distinguer de la notion dénotée par l'expression «sous condition résolutoire» (upon condition subsequent), qui n'emporte pas résolution automatique. On trouve aussi ce sens restreint de «résoluble» dans les termes «domaine résoluble» (determinable estate), «fief simple résoluble» (determinable fee simple) et «fief taillé résoluble» (determinable entail). 1, record 12, French, - domaine%20viager%20r%C3%A9soluble
