Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 3164

  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.

            The parties to a contract from which a pledged obligation arises may agree to modify or terminate the contract or to substitute a new contract. If made in good faith, the agreement is effective against the pledgee without his consent. Nevertheless, after written notice of the pledge is given to the obligor of a pledged obligation that has been fully earned by the pledgor’s performance, an agreement modifying or extinguishing the pledged obligation is without effect against the pledgee unless made with his consent.

            Acts 2014, No. 281, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 2015.
