Abstract
The article is dedicated to the overall presentation of contracts to which the law
recognizes the power of enforcement, in a brief retrospect carried out through the Roman
law and their evolution to the present day as they are found in the Civil Code or special
laws that govern them. The contract is in effect, the conventional framework by which
parties incur obligations and acquire rights in relation to each other, representing the
materialization of the agreement of the parties and is only deemed validly concluded if the
parties have expressed their consent freely and without undue influence. Contract partners
are free to insert any clauses they want in the Covent signed, provided that they d o not
contravene to public order or morality. But the aim is to highlight both the power of the
contract, and even more the importance of expressing the individ ual’s will on its fate. The
importance of this legal act never contested, made the legislator invest it with the force of
law between the contracting parties. So in cases expressly stipulated by the rules of law,
this legal act has been given the benefit of enforcement , however without prejudicing in any
way the principle of autonomy of will and without creating a co ntractual imbalance,
privileges or discriminations.

movement of assets and one of the essential legal mechanisms of economic
activity
