Legal Definitions - perfect duty

Definition: A legal obligation that is not only recognized by the law but is also enforceable.

Example: A doctor has a perfect duty to provide medical care to their patients. If they fail to do so, they can be held liable for medical malpractice.

This example illustrates the concept of a perfect duty because it is not only recognized by the law that doctors have a duty to provide medical care, but it is also enforceable through legal action if they fail to do so.
