Põhikohustusega

Põhikohustusega is an Estonian legal term that translates to "primary obligation" or "main duty." It refers to the principal responsibility or obligation that a party undertakes in a legal agreement or relationship. This is in contrast to secondary or ancillary obligations, which are subordinate to the main one.

In contracts, the põhikohustus outlines the core performance expected from each party. For example, in a sales contract, the buyer's põhikohustus is to pay the agreed price, while the seller's põhikohustus is to deliver the goods. Failure to fulfill the põhikohustus can lead to significant legal consequences, such as breach of contract claims and remedies.

The concept of põhikohustus is fundamental to contract law and helps define the essential elements of an agreement. It distinguishes the core promises from supporting terms that might relate to warranties, delivery timelines, or dispute resolution. Understanding the põhikohustus is crucial for all parties involved to ensure clarity and enforceability of their legal commitments. The specifics of what constitutes a põhikohustus are determined by the nature of the agreement and the intent of the parties, as interpreted by Estonian law.
