§ 1522 Accord Execution Obligation
This law says that when people make a deal, they must keep their promises until the deal is completely finished, even if they haven't finished everything yet.
Two neighbors agree that one will fix the fence and the other will pay half the cost. The neighbor who fixes the fence starts the work but hasn't finished when the other neighbor stops paying.
Even though the work isn't done yet, the neighbor who promised to pay still has to keep paying until the fence is fully repaired, because the agreement isn't finished until all promises are kept.
