Practice question
A statute governing a particular bond prescribes an additional qualification. An applicant meets Article 2056 but concededly lacks the additional applicable statutory qualification. The applicant argues Article 2082 makes the Civil Code criteria exhaustive. What is correct?
- Article 2082 repeals every special law.
- Every applicant may select which qualifications to obey.
- Article 2082 expressly includes applicable special-law qualifications, so satisfying Article 2056 alone does not resolve the stated defect.
- Only the applicant’s sincerity matters.
- A court order can never require a bond.
