General Principles

Sources of civil and commercial law consist of written laws, local customs, applicable written law, and general principles of law.

Any person unjustly enriched must return the benefit, regardless of the legal grounds.
Good faith receivers of non-monetary property bear no responsibility for damages; however, they must return any subsequent gains.
Bad faith receivers are liable for any losses, even if caused by force majeure, unless they can prove the loss would happen regardless.

Obligations: Wrongful Acts/Tort (Sections 420 - 452)

Engaging in wrongful acts causing harm to others mandates compensation responsibilities.
Employers share liability for employees’ wrongful acts performed during employment.
Employers are generally not liable for contractors' actions unless at fault regarding instructions or contractor selection.
