The provision
Art. 1318. There is no contract unless the following requisites concur:
(1) Consent of the contracting parties;
(2) Object certain which is the subject matter of the contract;
(3) Cause of the obligation which is established. (1261)
Key points
There is no contract unless three requisites concur: (1) consent of the parties; (2) a certain object; and (3) a cause of the obligation. The absence of any one renders the contract void.
