contract of settlement and its relationship with Article 10 of civil law From the point of view of Professor Jafari Langroudi

Among the various contracts, the contract of settlement has this unique feature due to its vast territory That the result of other contracts and compromises between persons can be drawn in its form without the specific provisions of those contracts should be in force within this framework. contract of settlement is a broader format than all nominate contracts that is provided for the realization of the rule of will and the Civil law refers to this in Articles 754 and 758. On the other hand, Article 10 of civil law has established a principle called the principle of freedom of contract, which has given the rule of will a wide scope and removed it from the confines of nominate contracts. The legislator intends to enact Article 10 to validate transactions that, despite the needs of society, in terms of the effects desired by the parties, do not fit into any of the nominate contracts. There has always been disagreement among jurists as to whether, despite the contract of settlement, Article 10 of civil law which Is adapted 1134 french civil law , was necessary or not? According to Professor Jafari Langroudi,Despite the contract of settlement and Articles 752 and 754 civil law, borrowing the meaning of Article 10 from Western law is superfluous and it should not be said that the principle of free will as extensive as stated in Article 10 has no precedent in jurisprudence, because the consideration of various types of contract of settlement and its documents in jurisprudence, which at the same time shows the implied scope of the provisions of the Civil Code in a contract of settlement is a living proof to the contrary. The present article is responsible for explaining the relationship between these two legal institutions by emphasizing the views of Professor Jafari Langroudi.
