Contract law

General issues of the content of a contractual obligation, rights and obligations in case of breach of a contractual obligation, including delays.

A contract is the most common reason for the establishment of an obligation. This is a legal act by two or more parties, by means of which the parties establish an obligation between them, the content of which follows from the contract. In general, the obligation gives rise to the creditor's right to a certain performance (claim) and by contrast to the debtor’s obligation to satisfy this right (debt).

Parties are free to decide whether to conclude a contract and what its content will be. They may be limited by the law. A contract is binding on the parties. It can be changed or cancelled only if all the parties agree, or for other reasons provided in law.
