Practice question
A debtor undertakes an unqualified duty to deliver a specified movable now. No demand has yet been made, and none of Article 1169's exceptions to demand applies. The creditor argues that immediate demandability necessarily proves the debtor is already in legal delay. Which analysis is correct?
- A pure obligation always creates automatic delay without more
- The duty is immediately demandable, but legal delay ordinarily requires the demand specified in Article 1169 on these facts
- The obligation is void until a demand is made
- The debtor may postpone delivery indefinitely
- The movable automatically becomes money
