Abstract

This present paper seeks to analyze the «protection duties» which, due to their characteristic of independence and autonomy in relation to the contract, can survive the extinction of the primary duties, mainly if a situation of trust has been created (a situation of trust: depend on, rely on, count on, believe in).
