ZAPATA FLOREZ, Jonathan. Contractual connection in prepaid medicine plans and health policies. Justicia [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.39, pp.153-172.  Epub 21-Maio-2021. ISSN 0124-7441.  https://doi.org/10.17081/just.26.39.3853.

The contractual connection is an expression of the modern contractual forms, product of the freedom of contract, guiding principle of the contractual relations in private law. There is contractual connection when a plurality of autonomous contracts is linked together to achieve a common purpose, also called supracontractual cause. Foreign doctrine has laid the foundations for this theory that has gradually been incorporated into the Colombian legal system since the study of specific situations by jurisprudence. In this article, as a result of a qualitative investigation through a dogmatic approach, prepaid medicine and health policies are studied as possible cases of contractual connection to conclude that they are indeed connection events and thus describe their effects on the rules of contract interpretation, the nature of the actions against the debtor that has breached its obligations and the extension of the grounds of inefficiency to the entire contractual network.

Palavras-chave : contractual connection; effects of contractual connection; prepaid medicine; health policies.
