Summary: MI: The Justinian code towards obligations deals with many subjects, including bets/Verbal contracts as well as haggling/and the buying/selling of goods based on agreement(bartering). P1 Summary: MI: Document One defines law and justice, and people's rights. It also defined what constitutes as a marriage (No incest).Slavery is also legal due to civil law overrunning natural rights(freedom). If two people have a child, but they aren't married, the child is taken away.THis tells us that the Byzantines value civil rights over natural rights, and they believe themselves greater than nature/ the state is more powerful than anything else. P2: Summary- This document addresses ownership and how to determine who owns what.FOr example, if someone goes onto your land and plants something, the plants are not yours. If someone finds a treasure, the finder and the landowner get half. This shows that the byzantines strictly defined how things are to be owned in order to resolve internal disputes, often to the point of the laws being impractical.
 * A Verbal Obligation is further divided into two categories- the Conditio, where a certain stipulation is certain, and the actio ex stipulatu, which is uncertain, based on their wording.
 * Stipulatio are made under certain pre-established conditions, much like a bet, and are made simply, usually with a time limitation.
 * Both things and actions can be the object of Stipulatio, and stipulatio can be based on facts (information-based bets). However, the stipulatio is void when the information is disputable.
 * A verbal contract of sale is formed when a price is agreed upon, and can be considered legitimate in all sales without a written record.Once the sale has been contracted, if it is damaged, it is the buyer's fault.
 * Public things and holy ground cannot be sold. But the buyer is to be reimbursed if they were tricked out of their money.
