The unilateral issuance of an IOU or IOU is a civil legal act by both parties. Although the act of issuing an IOU is made unilaterally, the intention of the IOU itself is expressed by both parties, so it is a civil legal act by both parties. Only An act in which one party's expression of intention can also make the contract effective is a unilateral civil legal act.
