Des Conditions essentielles pour la validité des Conventions

Contract Law
Titre XVII: Des Contrats ou Obligations conventionnelles en général (On Contracts or Conventional Obligations in General)
Chapitre I: Des Conditions essentielles pour la validité des Conventions (On the Essential Conditions for the Validity of Conventions)

Les conditions essentielles pour la validité des conventions sont, 1°. Le consentement des parties qui s'obligent; 2°. La capacité de contracter; 3°. Un objet certain qui forme la matière de l'engagement; 4°. Une cause licite dans l'obligation.

Life lesson: Four pillars of a valid contract: consent, capacity, certain object, and lawful cause. Miss one, and the contract falls.
Notes: Four essential conditions: (1) consent; (2) capacity; (3) certain object; (4) lawful cause. Foundational article for all contract validity. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 1108.
