| Summary: | One of the primary objectives of civil liability is to restore the victim to their pre-loss position. Also, the contractual liability aims at ensuring unity and harmony between the debt amount and the payment made. It is customary for a debtor to fulfill their obligation by paying an amount equivalent to the debt owed. However, in monetary obligations, the value of money and purchasing power can fluctuate between the time the debt is created and its resolution. This raises the question of whether fulfilling the obligation based on the value at the time of creation is sufficient to compensate for the loss incurred by the victim, and whether the liability for compensating for the decrease in the value and purchasing power of money lies with the debtor. Through an analytical-descriptive approach, the study concludes that a comprehensive analysis of the nature of money, grounded in jurisprudence, legal principles, common sense, and civil liability rules, supports the debtor's liability if the decrease in value is significant. The article also critiques views that treat money as metaphorical and argues against the inconsistency of metaphoricality with the need to compensate for devaluation. Money holds symbolic representation, and its purchasing power is a tangible attribute and a fundamental aspect of its value. |
