The Irreversibility of Donations According to the New Civil Code

The donation, inter vivos liberality, is by its essence irreversible. The principle of the donation irreversibility is expressly mentioned in art. 1015 of the new Civil Cod. Though the dispositions of the Civil Code in 1865 are mainly kept in this matter, the new Civil Code reconfigures the institution of the donation irreversibility, both by reformulating the old texts and by establishing new solutions. All these define a modern regulation of this important feature for the donation – irreversibility. In this context, our research analyses the principle of the donation irreversibility, as well as the exceptions to this principle.
