Tacit Clauses in Employment Contracts

When parties contract repeatedly over time, establishing and complying with obligations not explicitly reflected in the written agreement, or when situations arise that were not originally contemplated, we encounter what is known as a tacit clause. The repetition of actions demonstrates the parties' mutual intention and establishes the content of their relationship regarding matters not expressly agreed upon. Thus, through tacit agreement, the employment contract is supplemented in aspects not originally specified.

Essential Employment Contract Clauses

Roman Law

Roman Law represents the legal system developed by the Roman people throughout their history. It comprises institutions created by the Roman people to address the situations encountered in the daily lives of citizens within their territory. This legal system is deeply connected to the core aspects of Roman life.

During imperial times, the Ius Civile Romanus was formed by new laws emerging from the emperors through their constitutions. It was in the sixth century AD when Emperor Justinian I collected the works of previous jurists (jurisconsults) in the Corpus Iuris Civilis. This led to Roman law being identified with the laws contained in the works commissioned by Justinian (Digestum, Codex, Novellae, Institutiones). It's important to...

The Criminal Trial: Proof and Judgment

Proof is the core activity in the criminal trial process, upon which the court founds its justification and decides the case. Initially, one can only speak of holding a party's claims; however, this alone is insufficient to support the final decision. Verification activity within the process is necessary.

Therefore, we must consider the evidence only after all research activity conducted during the instruction phase by the judge has been completed. The trial is not merely for research but for judgment, and the judging authority must always be a different subject from the one who conducted the initial investigation.

Evidence Presentation and Appreciation

Evidence is only practiced before the judge, who must... Continue reading "Criminal Trial Evidence: Proof and Judicial Assessment" »

Banking Services

Characteristics

Banking services are activities undertaken by a bank at the request of its customers, satisfying a need. Their price is called a commission.

  • Perishability: If a service is not used, it is lost.
