A Comparative Analysis Regarding the Obligation of Result and the Obligation of Conduct (of Means) in Civil Law

Abstract

This study proposes to achieve a comparative analysis with regard to the obligation of result and the obligation of conduct in civil law, from a perspective of the professional duties and responsibilities arising out of a lawyer’s practice. The point of departure in this analysis consists of an overview including the main forms of social responsibility, continuing with juridical responsibility, with a main focus on the problematic of civil responsibility in both of its forms – contract responsibility and delictual responsibility -.
