Practice question
Parties agree on the terms of a proposed commodatum but have not delivered its object. A party argues that Article 1315's general consent rule necessarily perfects every contract without delivery. Which answer is correct?
- Mere consent necessarily perfects every real contract
- Article 1316 makes commodatum a real contract perfected upon delivery, qualifying the general consent rule
- Commodatum can never be a contract
- The object's destruction is required for perfection
- The agreement automatically transfers ownership
