The article is a review
of the work
"Obligations, the General
Provisions: A Com- mentary on the General Provisions of
the Obligations Code”, which was pub-
lished this November. Dr. Nina Plavšak edited and authored the
commentary, along with the co-authors prof.
dr. Miha Juhart and prof. dr.
Renato Vrenčur. As opposed to
being conventionally divided based on the Code’s
articles, the commentary’s texts have been arranged into consolidated sections
of material, which follow the
systematics of the Code’s general
provisions. The volume in- cludes a comprehensive commentary on the Code’s general
provisions—rang- ing from the prerequisites to formation of an
obligational relationship, classi- fied according to legal bases, to the
various sets of legal facts, which cause the extinguishment of an obligation
and those which cause changes to creditors and
obligors. Following are chapters on the general
provisions’ specific
frame- works for certain
types of obligations (Monetary obligations, Obligations with multiple performances (objects) and Obligations with
multiple creditors and debtors), and finally,
two chapters out of the Code’s specific
contracts volume (Surety and Payment Order (Assignation)).
Keywords: civil law, law of obligations, general provisions of the law of obligations, commentary on the general
provisions of the Obligations Code.
