indeterminate obligation

Read a random definition: adverse possession

A quick definition of indeterminate obligation:

An indeterminate obligation is a type of duty that someone has to do something, but it's not specific what that thing is. It could be one of many different options. For example, if someone owes a debt, they might have an indeterminate obligation to pay it back, but they could pay it back in different ways or at different times. This is different from a determinate obligation, where the duty is specific and there's only one way to fulfill it.

A more thorough explanation:

An indeterminate obligation is a legal or moral duty that is not specific in amount or form, or is subject to being changed by a third party. For example, an obligation to deliver any edition published before 1509 of a certain book can be discharged by delivering any edition published before that date. This type of obligation is different from a determinate obligation, which has a specific thing as its object.

Another example of an indeterminate obligation is a promise to donate money to a charity, without specifying the exact amount. The amount can be determined later, based on the needs of the charity or the donor's financial situation.

Indeterminate obligations can be created by contract, promise, social relations, courtesy, kindness, or morality. They are binding and enforceable, but the exact terms may not be clear or fixed.
