Legal Obligations: Definition & Elements

A mandatory legal relationship exists between two or more persons, where one can require the other to perform a certain prestation (performance).

Aspects of Legal Obligations

• Active: A person's right to require another to perform a specific benefit.
• Passive: The corresponding duty of another person to perform the required prestation.

Elements of Legal Obligations (3)

• Subjects: Can be natural or legal persons. The Creditor has the right to require the performance, and the Debtor must make the provision.
• Object: The benefit or behavior that the creditor has the right to demand from the debtor.
• Legal Link: The legal relationship connecting the two subjects, where one party must satisfy the creditor's benefit.

General Contractual Clauses (CGC)

CGC: "are standard clauses in a contract imposed by one party, regardless of its authorship, external appearance, size or other circumstances, and intended to be incorporated into a plurality of contracts."

Legal Status and Control System

Legal status: These are elements that make it possible to streamline contracting processes but can be negative because they may express the dominance of the offeror over the consumer. The result can be a model contract virtually immune to consumer complaints. Therefore, the law has imposed conditions that constitute a control system established by Law 26/1984 and Directive 93/13/EEC (1993).

The control system under these laws performs two types of control:

2. Drawbacks During the Police and Judicial Stages

• Police Interaction: Victims often face inattention, long waiting hours, hostile interrogations, and a lack of clear information.
