      1 - Application of Evidences on Liability against Deception in Supporting Consumers
      Rohullah   Zarchipour

      After developments in urban life and industrialization of manufacturing sector that came to the disadvantage of consumers, supporting consumer rights has always been a concern of lawmakers. The obscurity of jurisprudential fundamentals attesting to support of consumer rights, uncertainty over lack of establishing justice between the producer and consumer, and fears over disappointment of producers stand as major obstacles to support this group. This paper is devoted to application of evidences on liability against deception in line with supporting the consumers. These evidences help the person sustaining loss or damage in consequence of deceit to resort to liability against deception. As a result, a consumer with no knowledge of product specifications and deprived of required information on product use due to complexity of the manufacturing process, who has sustained loss or damage, shall receive due support. There are three advantages to consumer’s resorting to evidences on liability against deception: a) In addition to contractual relationships, these evidences are applicable to non-contractual relationships as well; b) They are invokable to losses such as destruction of property and infringement of rights; c) According to the evidences, deceit, knowingly or unknowingly, is a liability to consumers. Resorting to evidences on liability against deception paves the path for joint liability between producers and the chain of vendors which turns to be in favor of the consumer. Manuscript profile

      2 - Fundamentals of Validity of Ownability in Imamiyah Jurisprudence and Positive Laws
      Mohammad Mohammad Baramai سيدحسن داودالموسوی
      Issue 2 , Vol. 3 , Winter 2021

      Understanding the fundamentals of ownability of a property is important in distinguishing property from non-property. Since jurists of Imamiyah jurisprudence have no consensus on definition of ownability of a property and the Civil Law has not specified what the property is by definition, the importance of understanding the fundamentals of ownability of a property has further come to light. This paper intends to find a unified criterion for validity of ownability of a property, analyze the criteria set by the jurists, and investigate the strengths and weak points of the expressed criteria. The criterion thus achieved helps distinguishing property from non-property in doubtful cases. Such power of distinction helps us in various issues since ownability is a matter of credibility and the right understanding of ownability and its attachments depends upon acquiring knowledge on credit concepts and its specifications. Therefore, this paper points to some instances of credits. The author of this paper is of the opinion that the major criterion for understanding ownability is the rational approach toward this subject and other criteria expressed are either problematic or abundant. The paper has finally discussed available solutions in case doubts appear in conventional and legal ownability of a property. Manuscript profile

      Abstract payment undertaking is a form of unilateral legal act that upon formation creates mandatory undertaking on the issuing party and as far as the issuing party has not paid the certified fund to the beneficiary, he shall have no right vis-à-vis the beneficiary. Commitment to verification of documents, commitment to precision and good faith, commitment to informing the beneficiary about non-conforming cases and commitment to paying issuing party’s undertakings against beneficiary as well as rights resulting from violation of soundness, exactness, genuineness of instruments, and lack of committing fraud on one side, and the rights coming from subrogation in payment on the other side, are among the rights generated after payment of the certified fund by the issuing party with regards to beneficiary. As far as the beneficiary is yet to receive the certified fund, he shall have no undertaking toward the issuing party or the secondary bank. It is clear that after presentation of documents and payment of the fund by the beneficiary, the above-mentioned undertakings shall be attributed to him. Manuscript profile

      Civil liability rights play a significant role in supporting privacy rights of people. Civil liability laws shall guarantee fair indemnification of losses sustained to people and shall prevent emergence of tort in the society. In U.S. law, along with conventional civil liability, modern civil liability has clarified the fundamentals and pillars of various types of civil liability resulting from breaches in privacy. This paper, developed through descriptive-analytical method, reviews fundamentals, pillars and exceptions of various types of civil liability resulting from breaches in privacy in the legal system of the United States. Findings of the paper indicate that in the civil liability resulting from breaches in privacy, the U.S. legal system has duly recognized privacy right as an independent right and has accordingly established an integrated judicial procedure related to civil liability resulting from breaches in privacy.

      5 - An Analysis of Dissolving Condition based on Evidence of Conditional Sale in Iranian Law and Imamiyah Jurisprudence

      A broad interpretation of the dissolving condition indicates that it is a condition realization of which revokes undertaking(s) between the obligor and the obligee and cancels the contract or other similar legal instruments from the beginning (with a retroactive effect). There is no express legal text on the rule of dissolving condition in domestic standing laws. This has given birth to diversified reasoning by the legal experts. Moreover, in legal terms, the approach followed by Imamiyah jurists vis-à-vis this legal institution is not identical so that some consider it problematic based on such evidences as principle of definitiveness of conditions, inconsistency of dissolving condition with requirement of nature of condition and lack of legality of evidences on conditions. On the contrary, some believe in the soundness of the institution of dissolving condition based on the legality of the evidences on conditions. This paper is devoted to analysis of consequent opinions and approaches of experts to finally put forth its selected viewpoint on feasibility of soundness and use of such institution in Iranian law and Imamiyah jurisprudence and prove legal soundness of its application on attachment of Articles 232 and 233 of Civil Law to Articles 10 and 975 of the same law. However, it seems that the generality of evidences on conditions prove legality of conditions in creating or destroying the legal effects. Manuscript profile

      The important status of the principle of conditions in jurisprudence and the rights of undertakings is something clear. The recent version of this principle excludes conditions countering the Book (Holy Quran) and tradition. Identifying the conditions countering the Book and tradition and putting forth a regulation to help the experts in Islamic law, jurists, and in cases the judges in comparing and contrasting instances of contradiction to the Book and tradition, will be very helpful. The classification of orders by the Book and tradition into positive and imperative rules, and the imperative rules into mandatory and non-mandatory, the researcher came to know the difference in the existence of criterion contradictory to the Book and tradition. This paper has embarked on typology of Quran and tradition and presenting a criterion for readdressing the condition contradictory to the Book and tradition. Manuscript profile

      1 - A Comparison of Mortgage Contract and Transaction with Right of Restitution through an Approach based on Existing Precedent

      Abstract: Transaction with right of restitution refers to any supplementary and commutative contract in which the assignor reserves the right for himself to reject consideration and restitute transferred property. In view of the law on registration of deeds and real estates, transaction with right of restitution is a combined contract of rendable property and mortgage. There are, however, differences between transaction with right of restitution and mortgage including this that the contract interests belongs to the transferee in the transaction with the right of restitution while corpus interests of the mortgaged property belong to the mortgagee. By virtue of Article 324 of the law on registration of deeds and real estates and the existing precedent, all the benefits belong to the purchaser and given religious rules and regulations, this stipulation is the same as the debt interest. However, if we ignore the right of the purchaser to collect interests, given the degree of inflation and devaluation of money, we have equally ignored commutative justice in his case. Therefore, belongingness of the interests to him seems to be possible via bartering and realization of relative balance. Manuscript profile

      2 - Theory of Extinction of Original Obligations by Signing Commercial Papers

      The issuance and delivery of commercial papers do not mean fulfilment of payments or extinction of previous obligations; rather, it is with the hand-over of the commercial papers that both obligations under the commercial papers are met and the original obligations become extinct. Although commercial papers bear obligation per se, until before payments for commercial papers are made, the criterion for action will be original obligations. There is, of course, difference of opinion among jurists on this rule, while it has been confirmed in the majority of the legal systems. However, there is another theory stipulating that issuing a commercial paper and handing it over to the creditor suffices for extinction of original obligations. The proponents of this theory believe in the “substitution of commercial papers”. Although they accept the fact that a commercial paper means ‘commitment to pay’ not ‘payment per se’, they believe that the obligation coming from the commercial paper shall be replaced with the original obligation, suggesting that somehow a shift of obligation takes place.

      3 - A Comparative Study of Mortgage Contract and Its Establishment in Iranian and American Legal Systems

      Abstract: According to Iranian legal system, despite the existence of fixed debt in an obligation, pledgee and its waiver, the mortgage contract shall be enforceable and the right of pledgee shall be established on the mortgaged object. This is done without any difference between the two stages of creation and establishment of the right of pledge. Even in the case of immovable mortgage it is obligatory to register the document. On the other hand, in Iranian legal system the principle of transferability of the mortgage – however briefly – has been officially recognized so that conclusion of a mortgage contract and the establishment of the right of pledgee is no obstacle to future transfer of mortgage or pertinent rights by the mortgagor in case it does not violate the rights of the pledgee. The rule of this principle, without special stipulations on establishment of the rights mentioned in the contract such as obligation to register the mortgage, will sometimes raise consequences such as dispute in discerning priority, reference to the superficial contracts containing the date of priority and consequently violating the rights of pledgee as well as legal dispute in courts and probably penal procedures. Whereas in many legal systems across the world, the US legal system for instance, there is a distinction between the two stages of concluding the mortgage contract or a pledge and stipulations for the establishment of the rights of mortgage for either side. In these legal systems, a distinction has been made between movable and immovable mortgage and establishment of the right of pledgee on each case requires finishing certain formalities otherwise, the right of the pledgee will be incomplete and the priority will be with the other party finishing the procedure. The question raised in this paper is this: Is it possible to make a distinction between the two stages in Iranian legal system with respect to the existing jurisprudential laws and the enforceable legal texts?

      4 - Jurisprudential and Legal Study of the Concepts of Right and Decree

      Right in Islamic jurisprudence entails two meanings: First, right in its general sense, means property and decree and in its specific sense it means right. The examples for this denotation of right are the right of fatherhood, right of guardianship for the ruler, right of administratorship, right of custody and the like. Although these are interpreted as right in the literature of the jurisprudents, they are all examples of decree. Second, right in its particular sense is vis-à-vis property and decree. Therefore, it has been said that the jurisprudents who put right in front of property and decree, they mean a type of religiously obligatory decree, which is also called religious decree or the decree of the Legislator. However, in cases we consider decree in its general sense, either obligatory or enacted, it is clear that right (like property) is a type of enacted decree. Therefore, decree in its general sense is attributable to its particular meaning (second meaning). On this basis, when right is compared and contrasted with decree, the denotative meaning of the two is involved and when in jurisprudence, jurists talk about the effects and consequences of right, like the capacity to waiver, and transfer, they mean that right possesses these effects as an enacted decree and its independent rational validity. On the contrary, the obligatory decree lacks such characteristics. This paper is an attempt to study the relationship between obligatory decree and enacted decree, and as well as the viewpoints of theoreticians at law and the independent viewpoints. Attempts also have been made to discuss the criteria for distinguishing right from decree and the procedure and criteria for judgment when doubt is raised about right and decree. In case of the absence of criteria, what shall be the basis for performance? Manuscript profile

      The condition of banning Halal and authorizing of Haram is one of the most important discussions in Imamiya jurisprudence. Jurists consider the proviso enforceable in case the condition does not ban Halal nor authorize Haram. There is difference of opinion among them on conceptual authority in discerning the condition of banning Halal and authorizing Haram. Some jurists like Sheikh Ansari are of the opinion that the condition leading to authorization of an unchangeable rule on Haram and banning an unchangeable rule on Halal, shall be considered an instance of banning Halal and authorizing of Haram. Some other jurists, like Mohaqeq Yazdi and Nayini believe that the verdicts must first be divided into mandatory and conditional rules before expressing any authorization or banning. In mandatory rules, the late Naraqi – like Sheikh Ansari – only considers commitment to unchangeable rules (Wajib or religiously obligatory act and Haram or religiously forbidden) against the Book and Sunnah or tradition, however, commitment to act or avoid to act in permissible rules is allowed. Also, he says any change in conditional rules by setting a condition is against the Sharia law. Some other jurists, like Imam Khomeini, have resorted to the common law in expressing the quality of authority in its discernment. Manuscript profile

      When a commodity is submitted by the owner to the other party for future transaction, the mutual relations can be in the form of contract, unilateral obligation or mere authorization. Therefore, the nature of this relationship depends on the intention of the parties and there is no obstacle according to Sharia law to it. The practice has some effects and it is necessary to identify these effects in order to determine the type of relationship of the transactors and arbitration between them. Guarantee on damage or loss of the commodity is one of the guarantees that in view of some jurists is the owner’s obligation, while some consider it that of the receiver. However, since the owner delivers the commodity to the other party upon his will, it is unlikely to consider the receiver responsible unless in wasting commodity or in encroachment. Therefore, guaranteeing the commodity in case of damage or loss is on the owner. Upon evaluation of various views on the nature and impact of the said institution, in this paper all aforesaid views can be taken as one. In this case, the probable problems for the traders in this area will be removed and the ground will be prepared for a fair arbitration between them. Manuscript profile

      7 - Explanation of Legal Principle of “Everything that is known only by claimant will be heard” and Its Application in Iranian Legal Code

      Abstract: The legal principle of “Everything that is known only by claimant will be heard”, briefly known as the “maa laa ya’lam” is among legal principles that helps settlement of certain legal claims. Some cases are known only to the claimant due to confidentiality. Therefore, it is impossible to present evidence at the court for such claims. The legal principle of maa laa ya’lam (transliterated as what he does not know) is used to help resolving the case and the only solution is accepting the claimant’s claim without evidence. According to the related exhibits and evidences, this is a well-proven legal principle that has been invoked by the Infallible Household of the Prophet (pbuh) and Muslim jurists have made frequent mentions of it in their books. Instances of this legal principle’s effectuality can be found in various civil rights and penal codes. For instance, in civil rights, the principle is used in such claims on marriage, menstruation and payment of various dues, and also in penal code, it is used in case of presenting proof of no adultery.

      Abstract: Although in conditional contracts the effects of contract appear after realization of the conditionality of the contract, that does not mean the conditional contract lacks its effects before realization of the conditionality. Therefore, in alienative contracts, the effect of conditional contract before meeting its conditions shall be attributed to the buyer as a sort of conditional ownership. Perhaps it is because of such right for the promisee in the conditional contract (before meeting the conditions) that any contract contradicting with it may be pronounced non-effective or void. However, a review of the statements of evidence of each one of the three reasons for nullity, ineffectuality and authenticity of such contracts it can be claimed that any contract contradicting conditional contract is sound and valid. This, however, does not mean ignoring the promisee’s rights in conditional contract; rather, by virtue of the conditional contract, the object of transaction along with the buyer’s legitimate right in conditional contract will be transferred to the promisee as is. Of course, for final decision on the conditional contract, the parties should wait for the final status of the conditionality in the contract. In case of failure to meet the conditions, the real right of the buyer in conditional contract over the object of transaction will be null and void and when the conditions are met, one should see when the effects of the conditional contract will be valid. In the meantime, there should be a distinction between formation and validity of the contract vis-à-vis the promisee of the conditional contract. Manuscript profile

      Justice and injustice are two influential and highly debated issues in human schools of thought. One key discussion in this regard, is the role the concept of injustice can play in the procedures related to inference of the religious rules. This paper intends to clarify the role of injustice in this procedure. Based on the dictionaries, especially those belonging to the immediate post-Revelation period, injustice means “trespassing limits”. It also means the same in religious texts, the Holy Quran in particular. On this basis, in jurisprudential inference, injustice takes place whenever one trespasses the limits specified by the legislator. The valid limits in jurisprudence are the same specified by the legislator as well as the rational and common limits based on which the legislator has set the limits or avoided prohibition. Consequently, injustice is a criterion at work throughout the totality of jurisprudence and legal inference. Two major roles have been considered for injustice: First, in cases where attribution of something or reasoning is in incompatibility with general guidelines of Sharia law, it can restrict reason or dissuade the case. Second, it can serve as a proof of judgment in jurisprudential ramifications and newly raised issues. Manuscript profile

      In this paper, we have first tried to define coma and then compare it with general anesthesia and brain death by resorting to the opinions of the jurists and latest medical findings. Unlike common belief, coma is not a disease; rather, it is a prolonged state of unconsciousness that results from damage to the person’s brain. In this paper, we will investigate the nature of coma and compare and contrast it with similar states of unconsciousness in the science of jurisprudence and law. The most important outcome of this study and the aforesaid comparison and contrast will emerge in the answer to the following question: What state of life is “the person in coma” in? There is an in-depth relation between humans’ life and death on one side and jurisprudence and law on the other side, in the sense that some rules are only applicable to death and the dead person while on the contrary, there are rules that are applicable to the person as long as he is alive and become inapplicable with the passing away of the person. Therefore, a precise examination of the concepts of life and death will be inevitable toward realizing the purpose of this paper. Manuscript profile
