Download or read book The Legal Enforceability of Contracts Made by Electronic Agents Under Islamic Law written by Walid Almajid and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this dissertation is to analyse whether contracts made by electronic agents1 might be made enforceable under Islamic law. It discusses what constitutes an enforceable contract under Islamic law and whether this is applicable when a contract is made by an electronic agent. The enforceability of these contracts under Islamic law is especially important in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) where Islamic law constitutes the legal system. Ignoring the doctrine of Islamic law in relation to the enforceability of these contracts could, therefore, fundamentally affect the future viability of these contracts in the KSA. The dissertation argues first that the principle of mutual consent under Islamic law is not satisfied in contracts made by electronic agents because there is no communication of an offer and acceptance by the contracting parties (users). Secondly, while electronic agents function like human agents, there are a number of doctrinal requirements under Islamic agency theory that prevent electronic agents from being agents proper. Thirdly, the term 'legal personality' is categorised in Islamic law under 'Dhimmah', an ethical concept designed principally for human beings which cannot, therefore, be attributed to electronic agents. This dissertation demonstrates that Islamic law creates conceptual obstacles which prevent contracts made by electronic agents being enforceable in the KSA. One implication of this will be a risk of negative impact on the development of these contracts in the KSA because they are contradictory to Islamic law. Islamic law must avoid narrow traditional interpretations of its legal concepts, because a lack of reform in this area will create difficulties and barriers against the enforceability of these contracts under Islamic law.

Download or read book The Theory of Contracts in Islamic Law A Comparative Analysis with Particular Reference to Modern Legislation in Kuwait Bahrain and the U A E written by Susan E. Rayner and published by Springer. This book was released on 1991-11-25 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the discovery of oil in the Middle East an increasing number of important contracts must be framed in accordance with the Shari'a. Moreover various factors have helped to create among Muslims a more acute sense of an original Islamic identity & a collective feeling that Shari's should govern their lives not only with regard to personal & family matters but also as a valid & reasonable corpus of commercial & civil laws. The ban on taking interest (riba) & the rejection of chance contracts (gharar) are two features of an Islamic law of contract which contrast with the secular man-made legal systems of the West. This book is concerned with these two Islamic Prohibitory rules & with the interest-free banking system which has developed therefrom. This is a new enlarged edition where the comparative examination of the topics of the book is updated & furthermore extended to cover the Shi'a Ja'fari fiqh. As a result all aspects are examined in the light of the teachings of the four Sunni schools -which hold authority in the Arab states & in Pakistan -of the Ibadis strongly present in Oman & of the Shi'a Ja'faris prevalent in Iran & largely present in Iraq, Bahrein, Kuweit & Lebanon. The new edition will confirm the use of the initial one as a text book with a particular appeal to academics & practising lawyers. It also provides an insight into the religious & idealogical foundations claimed by Islamic banking.
Download or read book Toward New Corporate Governance Standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Lessons from Delaware written by Meshal Faraj and published by SABIC Chair for IFMS. This book was released on 2016-02-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently a debate in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is over how directors of publicly held companies can be held accountable. Before addressing this question, we should determine when it is that a director violates her or his duties. This study seeks to bring focus to the accountability system in Saudi Arabia. It investigates a legal defect in that system: the Saudi Companies Law incorporates standards of conduct but lacks standards of review. This study argues that although directors’ duties have been formulated so that there are areas left to be developed by courts, Saudi judges do not retain residual lawmaking powers which they could use to fill a regulatory vacuum. It builds upon empirical evidence to prove the underlying reasons that the context has changed, which ultimately has created the need to reform the Saudi fiduciary duties system. New cases in Saudi Arabia evoke some of the contours of Delaware corporate law. New cases have triggered standards of conduct violations that might be identical to fiduciary violations in Delaware. Therefore, this study proposes to transplant Delaware standards of review to Saudi Arabia. It argues that the contextual change in Saudi Arabia after the establishment of the Capital Market Authority would make this transplant more significant. Closer analysis suggests that both systems are consensus on the shareholder primacy model. This convergence on the shareholder model inevitably ensures a functional convergence in the long run.

Book excerpt: Our intention is to furnish adequate information to the audience of primarily the classifications of Legal prototypes, followed by a genuine comparison about the intricate details and lastly a few important case studies related to Legislatures which adduced the impact of law in both of these countries. Research plan constitutes with a rudimentary introduction to the base constitutions, Hierarchy of Courts, followed by the individualistic law, modes of comparison and a final ting of color to the individual case studies, hopefully encapsulating an evinced yet profound document alluding comparison to the legal framework. The collective research through enormous brainstorming led to title my work as "The Court system and the sources of the law: a comparative study between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Chad". Whatever good is found in it is from the Merciful Grants of Almighty Allah Taa'laa, and whatever wrong might be found in this research are due to our naiveté of this subject. May Almighty Allah Taa'laa accept this genuine research. Aameen!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal thinkers typically justify contract law on the basis of economics or promissory morality. But Peter Benson takes another approach. He argues that contract is best explained as a transfer of rights governed by a conception of justice. The result is a comprehensive theory of contract law congruent with Rawlsian liberalism.
