Talk:Law of obligations

Untitled

Obligations law is certainly composed of these things. However, it is interesting to note that in the French Civil Code, the two quasi-contracts which are defined by the code are the "gestion d'affaires" (managing the affairs of your neighbor in his absence) and "répétition de l'indu" (receiving what was not due). The "enrichissement sans cause" (enrichment without reason) was a jurisprudential construction dating from the beginning of the XXth century, and there was in 2007 a case where the Court of Cassation created perhaps a fourth category relating to publicitary announcements where a company promises to deliver money and actually has no intention of doing so. Civil responsability is probably roughly the equivalent of tort law in a Common Law system - it is divided into two areas : Contractual responsability and Delictual responsability. Contractual responsability is where a contract is involved, and there is a fault in its execution - for example not fulfilling one's contractual obligations ; Delictual responsability covers all cases without a contract - for example a car accident or an injury on a staircase.--68.192.179.151 (talk) 22:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The law of obligations includeds the law of contract, the law of delict, quasi-contract law, quasi-delict law.

It origins from Roman Private law, which is defined as a “legal tie” or “legal bond” in the Institutes of Justinian.
