According to this principle, party’s increments (acquisition of goods or rights) has to have a valid causa (purpose). Otherwise the party is obligated to return the increment. Because cooperatives are legal persons regulated by private law this requirement fully applies to their legal actions, including cooperative transactions. The requirement of causa also applies to increments provided by the members to the cooperative. Therefore, the requirement of causa is the fundament of cooperative’s capital and members’ economic participation depends on complying with it.
