Summary/Abstract: In the Bulgarian legal doctrine the matter regarding the legal consequences of the unilateral assumption of a civil obligation has been touched on only in connection with other matters, central for the particular study, but never as a main topic. To a certain extent, this is due to the state of our civil law, in which there is neither a detailed regulation of unilateral deals, nor of the particular deal, subject to this article. At the same time, civil law cannot remain disinterested from unilateral expressions of will by which one legal subject assumes a civil obligation towards another, because the latter might adjust their behaviour to the legal expectations created by former and, in case these expectations are not fulfilled, damages might occur. This is the reason why it is important to analyze the legal relationship stemming from the unilateral assumption of a civil obligation, the specifics of which are due not only to the legal fact that gives rise to this relationship, but mainly to its contents. The current article is focused on the specifics of this particular legal relationship.
