A Review of Jurisprudential and Legal Fundamentals for Dissolution of Revocable Contracts in Iranian and Egyptian Laws with an Approach Based on Imam Khomeini’s Views

Revocable contracts are terminated as a result of such incidents as the death and incapacity of either party to the contract. An important issue concerning revocable contracts is the basis for dissolution of these contracts as a result of the aforesaid factors, which has been a matter of discord among Imamiya jurists and jurisprudents so that some jurists and jurisprudents consider dissolution of the revocable contracts an option coming from their revocability while some others have expressed other fundamentals for dissolution. In this research work, while reviewing viewpoints by Imamiya jurists and jurisprudents on the grounds for dissolution of the revocable contracts, we have taken into consideration Imam Khomeini’s views on the issue. Unlike Iranian law, the issue has not received due attention in Egyptian law. However, given the instances of dissolution in some revocable contracts such as lending contract, it can be said that in Egyptian law, the basis of dissolution of revocable contracts often rests on the will of contract parties.
