A quick definition of redemptio operis:
Redemptio operis is a legal agreement where a worker agrees to do a job or provide a service for a certain amount of money. It is a type of contract. The person who hires the worker is called a redemptor, which means contractor in Latin. Redeundo means returning or while returning in Latin. Redevance is a French word that refers to the dues that a tenant had to pay to their lord in the past, which could be in the form of money or other things.
A more thorough explanation:
REDEMPTIO OPERIS
Redemptio operis is a legal contract in which a worker agrees to perform labor or services for a specified price.
For example, if a carpenter agrees to build a house for a fixed amount of money, it is a redemptio operis contract. The carpenter is obligated to complete the work, and the employer is obligated to pay the agreed-upon price.
This type of contract is different from locatio operarum, where a worker is hired for a specific period of time, and the employer pays them a wage for their services.
- Redemptor: A contractor in Roman law.
- Redeundo: Returning; in returning; while returning.
- Redevance: Dues payable by a tenant to the lord, not necessarily in money.
