Definition of redemptio operis

REDEMPTIO OPERIS

Redemptio operis is a legal contract in which a worker agrees to perform labor or services for a specified price.

For example, if a carpenter agrees to build a house for a fixed amount of money, it is a redemptio operis contract. The carpenter is obligated to complete the work, and the employer is obligated to pay the agreed-upon price.

This type of contract is different from locatio operarum, where a worker is hired for a specific period of time, and the employer pays them a wage for their services.

  • Redemptor: A contractor in Roman law.
  • Redeundo: Returning; in returning; while returning.
  • Redevance: Dues payable by a tenant to the lord, not necessarily in money.

A 'reasonable person' is a legal fiction I'm pretty sure I've never met.
