Summary/Abstract: We define the causa of a civil law obligation as an economical motive for the origination of the obligation; it is likewise a prerequisite of its legal force. In praxis and in legal theory it is frequently mistaken with a legal reason, which causes the origination, modification and termination of civil law relations as its consequence. A general principle, causing the most serious troubles ( regarding the distinguishing of the causa and the legal reason of the obligation ), is established in §495 of the civil code.
