A doctoral thesis at the College of Law at the University of Karbala discussed the ignorance of contracts in contemporary contracts, submitted by researcher Zainab Yahya Kazem.
The study aimed to address the technological development that led to the emergence of models of contracts and forms of transactions, represented by the electronic contract and the artificial intelligence contract.
The study included three chapters. The first chapter explained the concept of the ignorance of the contractee in contemporary contracts. The second chapter dealt with the reasons for the ignorance of the contractee in contemporary contracts. The third chapter was devoted to explaining the provisions of the ignorance of the contractee in contemporary contracts.
The study concluded that there is a convergence between the position of the Iraqi Civil Law and the legislation subject to comparison with the doctrine of the Imami, Shafi’i and Hanbali regarding the ruling on the contract in which ignorance arises in the contract.
The study recommended the necessity of amending the texts of Civil Law No. (40) of 1951 relevant to the subject of the research, especially Article (128) thereof.
