Explanation of Article 80
After Article (79) clarified the provisions of interdiction and its obligations, this article explained "the actions of the interdicted person," which are: the actions issued by the interdicted person. The article stipulated that the actions of the interdicted person are subject to the provisions of Article (77), which are:
-
First: If the action is "purely beneficial," in this case, the action is "valid" and produces its legal effects.
-
Second: If the action is "purely harmful," in this case, the action is "void" and does not produce any legal effect.
-
Third: If the action is "between benefit and harm," in this case, the action is "voidable" and produces its legal effects unless the person with diminished capacity, or their guardian or trustee, requests its annulment. In this case, the action is annulled and does not produce any legal effect.
It should be noted that this provision applies to all types of actions, whether they are contracts, acknowledgments, discharges, or otherwise.
This article is considered one of the most important articles related to the actions of the interdicted person, as it protects their rights and provides them with the opportunity to annul the action if it is harmful to them.
As for "lifting the interdiction," which is: the removal of the interdiction from the person, it will be discussed in detail in Article (81).
