Object of sale

Summary/Abstract: The object of the contract1 represents an essential substantive condition and validity of the contract and is a subject disputed in doctrine. The doctrinal dispute regarding the definition of the object of the contract generally has its origin in the polysemantic character of the term „object”2. Starting from the provisions of Article 962 of the Civil Code of 1864, the legal doctrine3 has limited the object of the contract to the conduct of the parties established in that contract, to the action or inaction to which they are entitled or by which they are bound. In another opinion4 it was mentioned that the object of the contract consists in the object of the obligations generated by it, i.e. in the service or services concerning the transmission of a right and a positive or negative fact of the debtor, as well as in the object of these services.The relation of determination between the object of the contract and the object of the obligation follows from the fact that all the characteristics of the latter have their origin in the nature of the object of the contract. In this sense, the current Civil Code removes the inaccuracy of the old Civil Code, which, in Article 964, confused the object of the contract with the object of the obligation. Thus, Article 1225 (1) of the current Civil Code provides that „The object of the contract is the legal operation, such as sale, lease, loan and others similar, agreed by the parties, as it appears from all contractual rights and obligations”. In other words, the object of the contract designates the legal operation through which an obligation is born, modified, extinguished, i.e. a legal relation, the content of which includes the rights and obligations of the parties . The object of the obligation is the service to which the debtor is committed.
