obligātiō ōnis, f

• obligo, an engaging, pledging, obligation: est gravior animi quam pecuniae.

Obligatio

A legal bond by which one is bound to the performance of some act at the behest and for the benefit of another person (Inst. iii. 13). It may, however, be of a negative character, in which case the persons bound must abstain from some specified act. Obligationes to be binding must satisfy their creditors: (1) they must be lawful in nature and form;

(2) they must have a money value to the person in whose favour they are assumed; and

(3) they must be definite and specific. See Savigny's Obligationenrecht (2 vols. 1851-53).
