Abstract

An indispensable element of social relations, primarily the contract governs our existence. Virtually

anything in our lives is governed by contracts. Any move we make, school, work performed, marriage,

holidays, a house or a new car, will lead to the acceptance of a contract, or are a consequence of their

existence. In the light of the codifications set forth in the current Civil Code, which regularly follows the

modern proposals for contract rules, the legislator gives us a clear perspective on its essential conditions of

validity. Thus, along with the ability to contract and the consent of the parties, as essential conditions of

validity of the contract, the cause and object of the contract also arise. The purpose of this study is therefore

to reflect upon the meaning of some terms such as "the object of the contract", "the object of the obligation"

or "the object of the benefit" in agreement with the regulations contained in the current Civil Code,

especially because in practice but sometimes also in legal doctrine, sufficient attention is not given to the

legal sense of each of them, the current rule bringing clarifying regulations.
