Practice question: Waiver

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

An adult creditor knowingly releases a disposable personal contractual right in an otherwise valid waiver. All required formalities are satisfied, and no legal, public-policy, moral or protected third-person objection exists. Does Article 6 categorically prohibit waiver merely because the right has value?
  1. Yes, because valuable rights can never be waived.
  2. Yes, because every contractual right is mandatory.
  3. Yes, because only courts may ever relinquish rights.
  4. No. Article 6 permits waiver subject to its limitations.
  5. No, because every waiver is automatically valid regardless of facts.
