The question of the differences between an employment contract and a civil contract often arises in practice. Below we provide a brief overview of the main differences between the two contracts.
Pursuant to Art. 19, Para 3 of the Obligations and Contracts Act, either of the parties to the preliminary contract may bring an action for the conclusion of the final contract. Most often in practice, these claims are initiated by the buyer under the concluded preliminary contract, as it is usually the buyer whose rights and interests are more vulnerable in the overall process of concluding a final contract for the purchase of real estate. This is because it is widely accepted in practice to arrange for the payment of part of the sale price to be made prior to the conclusion of the final contract in the form of a deed. This leads to situations where the buyer has fulfilled their main obligation to pay the sale price (or a large part of it) and they are left with the legitimate expectation (hope) that the seller will appear at the place and time agreed in the preliminary contract to conclude the final contract, but this does not always happen. *This publication is in Bulgarian.
