Around the Table

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

382- In execution of Article 9 of Legal Bill of Manner of purchase and ownership of the lands and properties for execution of public, civil and military programs of government, does have the participation of public prosecutor or his representative merely the formalities aspect or can he give opinion in the nature of the affair (urgency or non-urgency of plan execution)?

Opinion of majority of votes of members of the current commission in the session dated June 21, 2007

In reply to the question, it shall be said that recognition of plan urgency is undertaken by the said concerned ministry and the public prosecutor cannot give opinion in this regard because even though interference and possession in the individual(s) properties should be made by canonical and legal authorization or judicial authority decision but concerning text of subject of question (Article 9 of law for manner of purchase and ownership of the lands and properties for execution of the public, civil and military programs of the government) the executive system can take measure regarding possession and execution of the plan in compliance with contents of the said article and the inserted clauses of it before performance of the final transaction by drawing up process-verbal of the present status of the property with appearance of the owner or his representative and in his absence, the representative of the public prosecutor and the official expert, of course regarding the quality of writing of that part of the said article in which it has been inserted that with appearance of the owner or his representative and in his absence, representative of the public prosecutor…”. It seems that appearance of the representative of the public prosecutor is necessary when the owner or his representative is not present because appearance of representative of the public prosecutor will be merely for reserving the rights of the owner and supervision on the correct execution of the law.        

383- Article 282 of Civil Law states that: “If someone has numerous debts to the another one, the fact that payment is for which debt, is recognized by the debtor.” Do the regulations of the said article apply to the commercial papers too? That is, if someone has numerous debts to another one and claims the sum paid is for the check which is at the possession of the plaintiff, is this claim accepted or not?    

Opinion of majority of votes of members of the current commission in the session dated June 21, 2007

The principles inserted in the commercial papers are different from civil issue, these principles prevent the civil regulations to supervise them because the commercial papers have the privileges that civil debts do not have, for example, joint and several liability can be made in the commercial papers or writ of attachment of relief without payment of the possible damage may be issued and other particular is that the court can not give respite for payment of the amount to debtor without satisfaction of the creditor (on the contrary to the civil debt) moreover regarding the question, existence of check before the holder means the debt existence unless its contrary is proved and that the check has the civil and penal liability too. However if we give the right to the debtor, stability in the commercial relations and acceleration in the said operations are cancelled. Based on these regulations, Article 282 of civil law will not be enforceable regarding the commercial papers.

Pakistan

2 Decisive Fridays for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan

Zakiyeh Ezzati

This article represents the events from Friday, Mar. 9, 2007, that is time of suspending activity of the judge Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Parkistan by Parviz Mosharraf, President of this country, to Friday, July 20, 2007, that is time of issuance of judgment of the supreme court regarding returning of Chaudhry to his position. Apparently he was suspended due to misuse of the authority.

The interesting point is that he was suspended by the one who is popular for misuse of his authority in the world. Chaudhry has become popular among the people of this country due to desire for investigation of the cases about indecent measures of the government such as kidnapping and false imprisonment of the political activists of Pakistan.

 At the last year, he prevented of the government measure for sale of 75% of capital of steel manufacturing factories (belonging to the government) to a private company. Chaudhry measures such as the mentioned ones was not pleasing an for the government and the president himself, Parviz Mosharraf and at last, on Mar. 9, 2007, he suspended Chaudhry for this excuse that there are many complaints against Chaudhry about bad behavior, misuse of the authority and measures inconsistent with dignity and rank of the Supreme Court. Root of the charges against Chaudhry was originated from the open and clamorous letter of Naeim Bukhari, one of the attorneys of the Supreme Court and Member of the Punjab bar association. In fact the inserted charges in the said letter against Chaudhry were unfounded and funny.

Generally, the charges against Chaudhry have not been very serious and his measures are considered as ordinary affairs. Some of the attorneys and opposed parties believe that Mosharraf has tried to dismiss an autonomous judge with conspiracy so that he can use the legal challenges for improvement of his plan for request from the legislators for remaining in his position for 5 years at the threshold of elections of presidency.

 According to the B.B.C. report, Chaudhry has many criticizers but even they accept that he has been very effective Now we draw your attention to the proceedings of this case and the political and legal evolutions of it

Letter of Intent

Dr. Kashani  (Fifth Part)

This part is about contrary letter of intent. Sometimes a seller signs a letter of intent and undertakes in it that if the purchaser undertakes his obligation during the prescribed time, he will appear in the notary public office in the due date and signs the transfer deed in the name of the purchaser but instead of doing that, he transacts the same property with the other one in the later date and then signs the transfer deed in the name of the second purchaser in the notary public office.

In this case there is contradiction between the obligations of the seller with the first and second purchasers, now if both letters of intent remain as the ordinary deed and the purchasers bring the action of obligation for drawing up deed in the court, definitely the one takes concurring opinion whose date of letter of intent is prior.

But the matter is that the owner has agreed with the second purchaser and drawn up the transfer deed in his name and in this case we have a prior ordinary letter of intent and a posterior letter of intent of drawing up the official deed which have contradiction with each other

Acquisition of Unlawful Property

Mr. Azmayesh, Ph.D

Mr. Azmayesh gave a lecture in a seminar regarding issue of acquisition of unlawful property. Herein we set forth an abstract of that seminar issues.

First condition of life in the society is non-negating of the others life, legal rule is extracted from the society and is indication of needs of a society. If you execute France law in Iran, problems of Iran are not solved. Because they conforms to the coexistence needs in France and are not related to Iran. For example, the society nature does not accept imprisonment of the individual due to blood money. You execute check law with severity but mass media announces that some persons are in prison for checks with low figures, the charitable individuals may help.

Because check law is not proportionate to Iran social life Crime is an action, which breaks the public order, not an action that is predicted in the law. The criterion for an action to be a crime is not prediction of law, that is its form. Law knows this action contrary to the public order if the law knows reverse of it as crime, this law is illegitimate…
