Actos Jurídicos: Claves para su correcto estudio 🗝️💼

Let's talk, my friends, about the legal act. Legal act. The Civil Code does not contain the expression legal act. The word "act" itself appears, but the legal act as such has no legal concept; it is not addressed in the code. What is covered in Book Four are contracts. And much of what is

said about contracts, we apply to legal acts, but as a definition, as a classification of legal acts, if a student is asked, " Tell me about the legal classification of legal acts," we're not going to find that.

facts, which are what happens, what arises, what takes place in the universe, and acts, which are everything that occurs with the intervention of human will. This word that appears here, the distinguishing element is will. In facts, we don't find a manifestation of will. Human will doesn't intervene, which is by no means the same as not
