My report is about the Object of the Contract, as the Article 1318 says “Consent, Object and

Cause” are the requisites of a contract. The Object of every contract is the obligation created, but
since a contract cannot exist without an obligation, it may be said that the thing, service, or right
which is the obligation is also the object of the contract. We have to be aware that not all things or
services can be the object of the contract, Article 1347 says “All things which are not outside
the commerce of men, including future things, may be the object of contract” also mean that
when making a contract it should be within the commerce of men, public places, sidewalks, bridges
and any things that are common to everybody. The object must be present when making a contract
as mention above, future things can be the object of contract if it is authorized by law.
For example, Mr. A talks to Mr. B that his in need of money and he sale to Mr. B the calf with the
amount of 10,000 the moment it will come out; Mr. B visit the house first of Mr. A to see the cow
and afterwards they make an agreement that Mr. B accept the offer and together with the third
person they sign the contract and he gave the amount 10,000 to Mr. A.
Continuation of the Article 1347 it says “All rights which are not intransmissible may also be
the object of contracts”. Intransmissible means something you can’t transfer to another because
it is only you who has the right of it such as your political rights, marital and family rights. For
example, Mr. B run as Mayor and he pays Mr. C 5,000 to not vote on the other party, due to poverty
Mr. C accept it. But knowing that they have break the law the contract will be void.
“NO contract may be entered into upon future inheritance except in cases expressly
authorized by law.” Future inheritance is any property or rights, not in existence or capable of
determination of the time of the contract, that a person may inherit in the future, it can’t be the
object of the contract because an object must be present when making the contract. Inheritance
ceases to be future upon the death of the decedent or deceased.
“All services which are not contrary to law, morals, good customs, public order, or public
policy may likewise be the object of a contract.” One of the services that are not contrary to Law
is killing a person. For example, Mr. A pays Mr. B the services he must do killing Mr. C so that
he’ll no longer have a rival on his business and due to in need of money Mr. B accept it. With that
example the contract is void because it is against the law to kill a person.
Article 1348 says “Impossible things or services cannot be the object of contracts.” (1272) the
impossible thing is like for example, Mr. A willing to pay 1,000,000 to Mr. B if he can get the
moon and deliver it to his house. It is extremely impossible.
