õigusvahekord

õigusvahekord refers to a legal relationship between two or more subjects, typically individuals or legal entities, that is governed by legal norms. This relationship arises from certain factual circumstances that are recognized by law as creating rights and obligations. For instance, a contract creates a legal relationship between the parties involved, where one party has the obligation to perform a certain action and the other party has the corresponding right to expect that performance. Similarly, tort law establishes legal relationships when one party's actions cause harm to another, creating an obligation for the wrongdoer to compensate the injured party.

These relationships are characterized by mutuality; a right held by one party corresponds to an obligation held by another. The content of an õigusvahekord is defined by the specific legal norms that apply to the underlying factual situation. These norms can originate from statutes, regulations, case law, or contractual agreements. The existence of an õigusvahekord implies that the parties involved can rely on the legal system to enforce their rights and to hold others accountable for their obligations. The dissolution or modification of an õigusvahekord typically occurs through the fulfillment of obligations, mutual agreement, or legal intervention.
