Practice question
Parties fully agree on the object, price and lawful terms of an ordinary consensual service contract, with no special-form requirement and no condition that signatures are necessary before they will be bound. One later refuses performance solely because a ceremonial signing has not happened. Which is correct?
- The meeting of minds can perfect the contract; the missing ceremony alone does not defeat the stated agreement
- Every service contract requires a public instrument
- The party may always revoke after agreement without legal consequence
- Consent never creates obligations
- Only delivery of a physical object can bind services
