Summary:
This dissertation describes the notion of penalty clause as a term tha the interesting parties have mutually cocluded to in order to safequard and at the same time ensure the execution of the contract, from which the debtor has already undertaken the responsibility to perform an obligation. Later on, the writer tries to higlight what happens in case the penalty clause is activated, especially when its activation occurs, as a condition, at the same time with the non-execution of the contract obligations.
