Portuguese term or phrase: obrigação de fazer
can anyone help me with the following sentence in a legal opinion regarding the applicability of ISS in Brazil:

o texto constitucional utilizou a expressão “serviços” (art. 156, III), cujos contornos estão perfeitamente definidos no direito privado como sendo aqueles que a identificam exclusivamente com uma obrigação estrita de fazer – e não, como supõe o fisco municipal, como obrigação de dar alguma coisa

Thanks!

duty of doing


Explanation:
'duty' is a common legal term; 'of doing' would be appropriate for its role as a nominative form, not exactly a verb form
