Cevap

Novation
The correct answer is 'novation' because in legal and commercial law register, it specifically denotes the creation of a new obligation in place of an old one, or the complete substitution of a new contracting party for an old one with the consent of all parties, extinguishing the original liability.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the legal context described in the stem.
The stem describes a scenario where an original party is completely released from liability because a third party assumes all rights and obligations through a fresh agreement.
Identifying the exact operational boundary of the commercial/legal process is essential to selecting the precise technical term.
2
Distinguish between legal terms related to contractual modification.
'Novation' extinguishes the former obligation and creates a new contract with party substitution. 'Assignment' only transfers rights/benefits without releasing the assignor from obligations.
Register precision in law requires understanding subtle distinctions between related procedures.
3
Select the specialized legal register term that satisfies all criteria.
The correct term is 'novation'.
'Novation' is the only term that matches both party substitution and full discharge of the original party's liability.
