Practice question: Pure

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

A valid promise states, 'I will pay when my means permit,' and does not specify a date. Should it be enforced as pure solely because no date is written?
  1. Yes, the qualification has no legal significance
  2. No, Article 1180 treats it as an obligation with a period subject to Article 1197
  3. Yes, every promise without a date is pure
  4. No, because the promise is automatically a donation
  5. Yes, the creditor may choose any date without the governing judicial process
