secondary obligation

A quick definition of secondary obligation:

A secondary obligation is a promise or duty that comes with a primary obligation, like a contract. It's like a backup plan in case the primary obligation is not fulfilled. For example, if someone promises to pay back a loan, the secondary obligation might be to give up their car if they can't pay. It's important to understand both the primary and secondary obligations when making agreements.

A more thorough explanation:

A secondary obligation is a duty, promise, or undertaking that is incident to a primary obligation. It is a duty to make reparation upon a breach of contract. For example, if a person agrees to sell a car to another person, the primary obligation is to transfer the ownership of the car to the buyer. However, if the seller fails to transfer the ownership, the secondary obligation is to compensate the buyer for the loss suffered due to the breach of contract.

Another example of a secondary obligation is a guarantee. If a person guarantees the payment of a loan taken by another person, the primary obligation is on the borrower to repay the loan. However, if the borrower fails to repay the loan, the secondary obligation is on the guarantor to repay the loan.

The examples illustrate that a secondary obligation is a duty that arises only upon the breach of a primary obligation. It is a way to ensure that the parties to a contract fulfill their obligations and are held accountable for any breach of contract.

Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
