Title: القانون المدني | مصادر الالتزام | انواع الالتزام | الالتزامات الإرادية والالتزامات غير الإرادية

This lecture from the Law Learning Channel explains the concept of obligations in civil law, focusing on the classification of obligations into voluntary and involuntary types based on their source or cause.

Main Ideas and Concepts

1. Definition of Obligations

Obligations are legal duties incumbent upon a debtor, which can arise either from the debtor’s own will or independently of it.

2. Classification of Obligations

Obligations are divided into two main categories: - Voluntary Obligations (الالتزامات الإرادية) - Involuntary Obligations (الالتزامات غير الإرادية)

Voluntary Obligations

Arise from the will of the person (debtor), either unilaterally or through an agreement between two or more parties.
The debtor chooses to assume the obligation freely; no one forces it upon them.

Two main forms:

Unilateral Acts of Will

Created by the will of one party only.
Examples:
- A will (testament) bequeathing property after death.
- A promise of reward (e.g., offering a reward for a lost item).
Legal basis: Article 123 bis 1 of the Civil Code.

Contracts

Arise from the agreement of two or more wills creating mutual obligations.
Example: Sales contract where the seller agrees to transfer ownership and the buyer agrees to pay the price.
Legal basis: Article 54 of the Civil Code.

Involuntary Obligations

Arise without the debtor’s intention to create them; imposed by law due to specific acts or events.
The law binds the debtor to fulfill these obligations even if they did not voluntarily assume them.

Three main types under Algerian law:

Tortious Acts (Delicts)
- Arise from wrongful acts causing harm to others.
- The wrongdoer must compensate the victim.
- Example: Causing injury in a traffic accident due to reckless driving.
- Legal basis: Article 124 of the Civil Code.
Quasi-Contracts (Beneficial Acts)
- Acts performed intentionally for the benefit of another without an agreement.
- The beneficiary is legally obligated to compensate the actor.
- Examples:
  - Repairing a neighbor’s dilapidated wall that benefits the neighbor’s property.
  - Mistaken payment of a neighbor’s bill obligates repayment.
- Legal basis: Articles 141 and 143 of the Civil Code.
Legal Obligations
- Imposed by law due to specific social or family circumstances.
- Example: A husband abandoning his children is legally obligated to pay child support if he does not do so voluntarily.
- Legal basis: Article 53 of the Civil Code.

Key Takeaways

Obligations can either be voluntary, arising from personal will and agreement, or involuntary, imposed by law due to harm, benefit, or social/legal duties.
Voluntary obligations include contracts and unilateral acts of will.
Involuntary obligations include tortious acts, quasi-contracts, and legal obligations.
Understanding the source of obligation is essential for determining the rights and duties of the parties involved.
