OPAZO-GONZALEZ, MARIO ALEJANDRO. Is it Actually a Contract the Civil Union Agreement?. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2017, n.33, pp.75-108. ISSN 0123-4366.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n33.04.

The present work aims to determine whether the civil union agreement, introduced into the chilean legislation through the Act number 20.830, is a patrimonial contract, as it is established by its first article, or a Family Law contract. Assuming one option or the other will lead us into whether it is possible or not to apply the Private Autonomy Principle to this contract. The thesis that it is sustained is that it is a Family Law contract and, therefore, the Private Autonomy Principle appears to be restricted in this agreement, so the people who celebrate the civil union agreement in Chile will not be able to alter the legal rules established for it.

Palabras clave : Civil union agreement; private autonomy; patrimonial contract; Family Law contract; Chilean Law.
