Around the Table

The following questions were discussed in the around table, the commission majority or unanimity of votes are as follows:

 

359- Court of first instance accepted the plaintiff action concerning claim of the sum of 5,000,000 Tomans for the loss incurring and rendered the judgment for dismissal of action regarding its excess and judgment debtor requested for revision concerning the issued verdict about his conviction, the court of appeals accepted the objection and rendered the judgment concerning that the plaintiff has no right due to non-incurring loss. The plaintiff pleaded regarding his dismissal of action about excess to the first relief after completion of the revision respite and the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of court of first instance by acceptance of the objection and sent the case to the parallel branch of the court of first instance. What is the obligation of the court of the first instance? 

Opinion of majority of votes of the members of the current commission in the session dated June 22, 2006

With respect to the fact that the relief and the parties to the action are single and the high authority (a branch of supreme court) has recognized the plaintiff entitled for receipt of the loss extra to 5,000,000/- Tomans by reversal of the judgment of the court of first instance, all the more has had opinion of the plaintiff entitlement to demand of loss up to the sum of 5,000,000/- Tomans and verdict of the court of appeals in this regard is not effective therefore the court of first instance shall investigate the whole relief of the demanded loss. In the meantime, if the verdict of this court can be revised, it will be investigated in the courts of appeals of the province. 

360- A petition was submitted by the wife at the relief of divorce authorization and issuance of incompatibility certificate against the husband and leaded to issuance of incompatibility judgment by payment of marriage portion. Can the wife request for issuance of execution writ and demand of marriage portion from the husband properties? 

Opinion of unanimity of votes of members of the current commission in the session dated June 22, 2006

Although the wife is entitled to receive the marriage portion canonically and legally but regarding the question, as the plaintiff is not judgment creditor of the case so is not subject of Article 2 of Civil Judgments Execution Law for request of writ of execution issuance but the husband who is plaintiff and judgment creditor is entitled to pay in cash the wife’s rights such as her marriage portion as per the Note 3 of Regulations Amendment Law related to divorce approved by the Expediency Council before execution of divorce formula, that is, the entitlement of the wife for receiving the marriage portion in the question depends to execution of divorce formula therefore, if the husband requests for divorce execution, the wife cannot request for issuance of execution writ with this reasoning that it has been inserted in the incompatibility certificate that the marriage portion and her other rights shall be paid. In the meantime, Article 2 of Law for Manner of Financial Convictions Execution is not enforceable in this regard too. (Opinion No. 7/2241 dated June 11, 2001)

361- If issuance of injunction is permissible by court of appeals, is there any need to agreement of head of judicial area for execution?

Opinion of unanimity of votes of members of the current commission in the session dated June 22, 2006

With respect to the contents of Article 356 of Civil Procedure Code “the regulations observed in the primitive proceedings are running in the revision stage…” and regarding the word of court inserted in Article 310 of the said law which includes the courts of first instance and appeals of justice administration and the fact that the court of appeals investigate procedurally and substantively same as the court of first instance as per the above cases so there is no doubt that the court of appeals is authorized to issue the injunction (Opinion No. 7/8283 dated Jan. 25, 2001 of Legal Department).
