Breach of agreement on life support

Abstract

Agreement on life support is one of the most often concluded civil contracts. It is certainly one of the most common contracts of civil law, as it is a convenient legal modality through which elderly, sick and disabled persons who have property, provide themselves a decent life and meet their basic needs through service of the other party. However, it is evident that not many agreements remain unchanged, but their content is often altered, many are canceled, even broken. Therefore, the author in this paper through legal method and systematic analysis of the corpus of domestic substantive provisions suggests all ways of termination of life support, especially on the factual circumstances that cause it. Some legislative ambiguities are stressed, as well as decisions in some controversial cases. Among other things, broken relations between the contractor and the changed circumstances as the most common and complex cause of termination are defined. In conclusion the proposals on which one may specify and complement legal loophole are given.
