00:00The creditor is the person who can demand the performance of an obligation.
00:03He has a right against the debtor.
00:06The debtor is the person who must fulfill this obligation.
00:09He may be required to pay a sum of money, deliver goods, perform work, or
00:13to comply with a contractual prohibition.
00:15These two qualities are relative to each obligation.
00:18In a sales contract, the same person can be a creditor for one service and a debtor for another.
00:24It is therefore always necessary to precisely identify the obligation being studied.
