Explanation of Article 116

This article clarifies that the general provisions of the contract apply to unilateral acts, except for the requirement of two matching wills to create an obligation, and unless the statutory texts provide otherwise. This means that most of the rules related to the expression of will, capacity, defects of consent, subject matter, and cause also apply to obligations arising from a single will.

Article 116

Unilateral acts shall be subject to the provisions governing the contract; except for provisions which require mutual intent for the creation of an obligation, unless stipulated otherwise by legal provisions.
