LEGAL BACKGROUND. Under Philippine law, marriage is an inviolable social institution whose nature, consequences and incidents are governed by law in the Family Code of the Philippines, otherwise known as Executive Order No. 209. This took effect on 3 August1988 and repealed the pertinent provisions of the Civil Code on Marriage (Republic Act 386) which became effective on 30 August 1950. As a rule, marriage is governed by rules established by law and cannot be made inoperative by stipulation of the parties. Divorce itself is not recognized in the Philippines (although Nullity proceedings are common) but there are provisions for the division of matrimonial property. The parties may enter into a pre-nuptial agreement to fix their property relations during the marriage within the limits provided by the Family Code (Article 1, Family Code). Pre-nuptial agreements are otherwise known as “marriage settlements” under the Family Code. They are also known as “ante-nuptial contracts”. When the parties, as future spouses, enter into a pre-nuptial agreement, it is the binding law between them and the Family Code is supplementary. In the absence of a pre-nuptial agreement, it is only then that the provisions of the law and local custom apply. In short, the pre-nuptial agreement takes precedence in the determination of the property relations between the husband and the wife. Therefore, the regime of absolute community of property provided by law in the Family Code is subsidiary to the will of the future spouses as embodied in their pre-nuptial agreement. A pre-nuptial agreement is conditional upon the marriage of the parties and becomes effective from the moment of celebration of the marriage. Therefore, it is an accessory to the marriage and governed by the same principle of invariability once entered into by the parties. In the Philippines, it is still uncommon amongst the general population to enter into a pre-nuptial agreement prior to marriage and it is more usual be governed by the regime of absolute community of property as provided by law. Pre-nuptial agreements are generally entered into where there is a significant age disparity between the parties,, when there is a wide difference between the wealth or indebtedness between the parties, and where one party has been married before and there is a desire to protect the children of the former marriage. Like any ordinary contract, the pre-nuptial agreement must be entered into voluntarily between the future spouses. It becomes bindi...

LEGAL BACKGROUND. The main relationship between the parties is still based on the agreement, but many of the obligations arising out of it are imposed or regulated by law. A contract may be defined as an agreement between two or more parties that is binding in law. This means that the agreement generates rights and obligations that may be enforced in the courts. The normal method of enforcement is an action for damages for breach of contract, though in some cases the court may compel performance by the party in default. But if the contract between the parties does not give a clear answer of the obligations or the remedies, it must be determined by interpretation. If interpretation is not enough, the contract must be supplemented with rules of practice. These rules are more or less the same for Danish, Norwegian and English law13. Principles of European Contract Law (PECL) is rules within the general law of contracts, and is about entering into contract, validity, substance, performance, non-performance, etc. The rules are still “soft law” and not binding, therefore I will not analyse them further, but they will be remembered as supplement. Denmark and Norway have specific law and general rules that regulates the relationship between to parties to a contract, it is called law of obligations, and under the specific law, we have special rules of agency. In the United Kingdom general rules of obligation does not exists. Instead the Contract Act and, in this specific situation in the thesis, the Agency Act applies. The general contractual position of a shipmanager is based on the law of agency. The shipmanager is the agent of his principal, the shipowner. The rights and the duties of the principal and the agent depends upon the terms of the contract, whether express or implied,, which exists between them. But in addition to these specific provisions, the mere existence of the relationship raises certain duties on both sides. In particular, an agent owes fiduciary duties to its principal. The distinguishing obligation of a fiduciary is the obligation of loyalty. Although it has been said that the essence of a fiduciary obligation is that it creates obligations of a different character from those deriving from the contract 13 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Mads and Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx. Lærebog i Obligationsret I. Second edition, Copenhagen, 2005, p. 26. itself, where the agency is based on a contract between the principal and the agent, the fiduciary duties may in certain cases be varied by the te...
