Unifactoral Obligation
An obligation created by one party. It refers to a legal or moral duty to do or not do something that is imposed by law, contract, promise, social relations, courtesy, kindness, or morality. It is a duty that is binding on one party only.
The examples illustrate the definition of unifactoral obligation by showing that it is a duty that is binding on one party only. In both cases, one party is obligated to do something without any obligation on the other party to reciprocate. This is different from a bilateral contract, where both parties are obligated to perform certain actions.
