The Evolution of Civil Responsibility in Argentine and Spanish Law

Abstract

Civil responsibility is a topic that accompanies man in his evolution and has precisely evolved along with it, along with his needs, his life and his concept of justice. This metamorphosis will be studied navigating comparatively through the waters of Argentine law and Spanish law, seeing how both advance in the same direction to a certain point of disparity. Both, the civil code of Argentina and the Spanish follow the Roman-Germanic system having as source the French model, in this sense it will be visualized that both have divided the Responsibility in Contractual and Extracontractual. The acclamation of a General Theory of Obligation applicable to both orbits has occurred in both countries, however in Argentina that request was received by the New Civil and Commercial Code that came into force from August 2015; this is undoubtedly the pending subject of Spanish law.
