...nominate contract whereby one of the contracting parties obligates himself to transfer the ownership of and to deliver a determinate thing and the other to pay therefor a price certain in money or its equivalent. Delivery and payment in a contract of sale are so interrelated and intertwined with each other that without delivery of the goods there is no corresponding obligation to pay. The two complement each other. It is clear that the two elements cannot be dissociated, for the contract of purchase and sale is essentially a bilateral contract, as it gives rise to reciprocal obligations. (Pio Barretto Sons, Inc. vs. Compania Maritima, 62 SCRA 167). Neither is the delivery of the thing bought nor the payment of the price necessary for the perfection of the contract of sale. Being consensual, it is perfected by mere consent. Contract to sell exclusive right and privilege to purchase an object. a bilateral contract whereby the prospective seller, while expressly reserving the ownership of the subject property despite delivery thereof to the prospective buyer binds himself to sell the said property exclusively to the prospective buyer upon fulfilment of the condition agreed upon, that is, full payment of the purchase price.

...not be able to comply with my obligation to the University and the College of Commerce with this absence. The question is why do I have the obligation to the school to teach Law1, anyway? What is my relationship to the school such that it can impose consequences on my non-compliance? In other words, what is the source of my obligation to teach? In exchange, is the school obligated to do something for me in return or exchange for my duty? Your employment is an agreement that you and the University and the College of Commerce have; it imposed on you a positive personal obligation. You are an obligor, indebted to teach Law 1 to classes that the College, your obligee, assigns to you. Such obligations are sourced from your contract with the employer and the state laws on employment. In exchange for your duty, the University is obliged to pay you a salary considered fair by both you and the law. 2. “Family first,” we hear every now and then. In the case of one famous politician and cabinet member, it’s “famiLATE first,” because he has once said he does not take the train or the public commute even if the traffic will cause him to be late because he is the one bringing his kids to school every morning. Anyway, how about these familial obligations, the fact for example that I am driving my visiting eldest brother and his family today? The duty seems to come naturally, hence, a natural obligation. What is that? Is that even a legal obligation? Can you give other examples?...

...The Law of Contract confines itself to the enforcement of voluntarily created civil obligations Abstract This assignment focuses to determine the relationship between the Law of Contract and voluntarily created civil obligations. It is intended to find out how contract law defines its scope within the enforcement of civil obligations. Civil obligations are raised from contracts, among several other sources of obligations. If the contracts are created voluntarily, the relevant obligations are thus voluntary. Since the contract law presumes that to create a contract there must be a common intention of the parties to enter into legal obligations, it is also assumed that the parties will enter into a contract voluntarily. When it comes to the discussion about civil obligations, contract law defines its boundary within the enforcement of civil obligations. This research paper was created with the motive to finding out how the contract law confines itself to the enforcement of civil obligations. Introduction We enter into contracts in our everyday general activities. Paying fare to the taxi driver amounts to entering into a contract. When you recharge your prepaid cell phone account, you have entered into a contract. You go to a restaurant and take snacks; you have entered into a contract. In such cases, we do not even realize that we are making a contract. In the case of people engaged in trade, commerce and industry, they carry on business by entering into contracts. But who ensures...

ABSTRACT This essay attempts to focus on the scope of the law of contract in relation to its enforcement capability of voluntarily created civil obligation. In an attempt to do so, the basic elements of the law of contract were discussed. Then attention was directed to civil obligation. Various interpretation of the civil law or obligation revealed its voluntary nature. Then in an attempt to create a link between the law of contract and civil obligation, both the concepts were related and it was found out that contract law did indeed enforce voluntary civil obligations. Finally, this view was countered...

...Two outstanding issues that could ensue are those of breach and frustration of a contract. A breach is an infraction of either the law or an obligation created through a contract (Bullon, 2003). A breach of contract arises when there is a violation of a contractual obligation through failure by a party to perform their own promise, or by repudiating the agreement, or even an interference with another party’s performance of their obligations (Garner, 2004). Breach of contract arises because Big Bank would be claiming that Systems Inc failed to honour their obligations within the agreed timelines. Frustration of a contract arises when the circumstances in which the contract is to be performed change very drastically out of certain unanticipated factors (Hodgin, 2006). When a contract is frustrated, the party seeking to rely on the frustration gets their duties discharged so that the contract becomes terminated (Jackson, 2006). The contract only becomes frustrated where it is demonstrated that its performance is impossible, as opposed to being onerous in nature as was so asserted in Paradine v Jane (1647) Aleyn 26; Sty 47. Frustration arises as a defense for Systems Inc because the company would be seeking to purge off the blameworthiness for Big Bank’s decision to rescind the contract. To prove this, it is highly probable that Systems Inc would point out the fact that the inability to change the data fields arose from the impossibility to contact Glenda Givealot who was...

... we apply the core revenue recognition principal: Companies recognize revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers for the amount the company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. 1. Key concept: the seller has one or more performance obligations. a. Performance obligations are promises to transfer goods or services to the customer. b. Revenue recognition is tied to satisfaction of performance obligations. C. Five steps are used to apply the principle: 1. Identify the contract with a customer. 2. Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract. 3. Determine the transaction price. 4. Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation. 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. D. Key considerations for each of the five steps that we will learn about: 1. A contract establishes the legal rights and obligations of the seller and the customer. 2. Contracts can indicate that the seller has one or more performance obligations. 3. The transaction price is the amount the seller is entitled to receive from the customer. 4. If there are multiple performance obligations, the contract price must be allocated among them. 5.

...TERM PROJECT Question 4: For a performance obligation that an entity satisfies over time and expects at contract inception to satisfy over a period of time greater than one year, paragraph 86 states that the entity should recognize a liability and a corresponding expense if the performance obligation is onerous. Do you agree with the proposed scope of the onerous test? If not, what alternative scope do you recommend and why? According to paragraph 86 and 87, a performance obligation is onerous if the lowest cost of settling the performance obligation exceeds the amount of the transaction price allocated to that performance obligation. The lowest cost of settling the performance obligation is the lower of a) the costs that relate directly to satisfying the performance obligation by transferring the promised goods and services, and b) the amounts that the entity would be permitted to pay to exit the performance obligation. An entity should initially recognize an onerous performance obligation as a liability and update the measurement of the liability for this onerous performance obligation for changes in circumstances at each reporting date. The onerous test acts as an application of accounting conservatism in revenue recognition, which requires recognizing all probable losses as they are discovered and deferring revenue until it is verified. As providing users with important information by, in effect, remeasuring performance obligations to reflect significant adverse changes in...
