German term

Gattungsschuld

German to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) German law
Die Lagerung bewirkt keine Umwandlung der vereinbarten Gattungsschuld.

this concerns a contract for supply of car parts. I have found several contradictory translations for this term - "obligation in kind" which I don't understand at all. "indeterminate obligation" seems much closer - but not easy for the reader to understand.

Steffen Walter Nov 4, 2008:
I've edited the write-in field to read "German law" instead of "Swiss law".
Andre de Vries (asker) Nov 4, 2008:
NOT Swiss law In fact it is German law.

generic obligation

Looking at Schäfer WirtschaftsWB, this suggestion is given, and I think in this context it may be what you need.
It is defined: "...obligation to deliver a generically defined 'thing' (i.e. merchantable goods of average kind and quality)".
