Q

How do we define what a new good is?

A

Change:
• “In form, external appearance or deisgn”
• “Of function or usage”
• “In essence or character”
• “Of name” ( e.g. if you build a motorcycle, then the names of the goods used become the name motorcycle)
• “In value” - not an indicator in and by itself; you need one more indicator form above.

Q

Obligatory agreement v real agreement

A

The obligatory agreement refers to the obligation of the parties to fulfill the conditions they have agreed to under the contract, including, for the seller, of the transfer of the delivery. Obligatory agreement = contractual agreement.

The delivery agreement is about the time and place and conditions governing the actual delivery of the goods and it is absolutely necessary to be fulfilled in order for transfer of ownership to pass to the other party. Real agreement = lies with the delivery. More explicit with immovable property (need of notarial deed for the transfer)
