Presentation
The Course Unit will begin by reviewing key content on juridical acts subject to nullity and annulability, as well as the effects of invalid juridical acts, which are essential for understanding all the topics to be addressed throughout the semester. This Course Unit aims to ensure that students undertake an in¿depth study of specific obligation¿related figures of great practical relevance, such as the promissory contract, the legal or conventional right of first refusal, and the management of another's affairs, analysing their function, requirements, and effects. Additionally, it will cover two fundamental pillars of patrimonial liability: unjust enrichment, as an autonomous source of obligations, and civil liability in all its forms, as a mechanism for protecting the interests of injured parties.
