Question: Why is it important that obligation in
contractsbe faithfully fulfiiled??
Answer: Laws are enacted to have order (or require the
performance of a particular action to achieve the same)
Since the terms and conditions of a contract are
considered the governing laws between parties, it is
necessary to faithfully fulfill one's obligation, that is, to
avoid the occurrence of dispute. Hence, why do we
have to fulfill our obligations, that is to achieving order
between the parties to the contract.
Question: How do you apply the laws on obligations and
contracts to everyday activities and business dealings?
Answer: We apply laws on obligations and contracts
unconsciously to our daily activities. One will not notice
that in performing a simple common task you have
applied several principles on obligations and contracts.
Like, for example, buying a piece of pandesal, the buyer
will offer to buy and the seller will accept. At this point,
once the seller and buyer agrees to the object and price,
and their minds have met; each of them will not just
rescind or refuse to comply. Even without knowledge of
law, one will not just back out from the perfected sale.
Then, after the perfection of the contract of sell;
unknowingly, they will go on to consummate the same.
The buyer will hand the money and the seller, in return,
will hand over the pandesal. A clear example of
reciprocal obligations, isn't?
If the money given is more than the price of the
pandesal, the seller will give the change. That is because
he knows no one should be enriched at the expense of
another; hence, he has the obligation to return what is
not due him. Likewise, if what was delivered to the buyer
is more than what he paid for, he will return the same
under the same principle, creating an implied obligation
to return.
In a simple, but very common, transaction, the parties are
not aware that they are applying the basic principles of
law on obligations and contracts. They might not be well
versed, or even, have not had any formal education, yet
they apply these simple principles of law unconsciously.
Thus, If you ask: how we apply laws on obligations and
contracts on our daily activities, we apply it unknowingly,
but instinctively, depending on one's value.
