Understanding Legal Obligations Explained

An obligation is a legal duty to give, do, or not do something. There are five sources of obligations: 1) law, 2) contracts, 3) quasi-contracts where the law implies a contract, 4) acts or omissions punished by law, and 5) quasi-delicts or unintentional wrongs. Obligations derived from law are not presumed or implied but must be expressly defined in the Civil Code or other special laws. Anything not foreseen will be regulated by the general provisions of the Civil Code.
