در حقوق ایران معاملۀ اضطراری صحیح قلمداد شده است، با وجود این گروهی از حقوقدانان با تکیه بر پارهای از مقررات موضوعه، این صحت را منصرف از معاملۀ اضطراری غیرمنصفانه - که از طریق آن کالا یا خدمتی با بهایی گزاف به مضطر عرضه، یا با بهایی اندک از وی خریداری میشود - قلمداد کردهاند. از این گروه، برخی آن را غیرنافذ، بعضی تعدیلپذیر، و عدهای هم صحیح، ولی برای مضطر قائل به خیار غبن شدهاند. با این حال، بهنظر میرسد وفق مقررات موجود، قرارداد اضطراری غیرمنصفانه جز در محدودۀ قراردادهای نجات دریایی صحیح است و نمیتوان از آن قیاس اخذ کرد، مگر آنکه مخالف رقابت در بازار بهحساب آید که در این صورت به دستور شورای رقابت قابل فسخ است. در مقابل، حقوق آمریکا قرارداد مبتنی بر تحمیل قیمت مخالفِ وجدانْ به شخص مضطر را قابل تعدیل دانسته است. افزونبر این قرارداد مبتنی بر تحمیل قیمت به اشخاص درگیر در فجایع و بحرانهای فراگیر، نظیر سیل و زلزله را هم تعدیلپذیر محسوب کرده و اغلب برای تحمیلکننده انواع متعددی از ضمانتاجراهای کیفری و جریمههای مالی را در نظر گرفته است. مؤلفان در این تحقیق، احتساب غیرمنصفانه بودن یا مخالف وجدان بودن معاملات پیشگفته بهعنوان معیار تعدیل این دست از معاملات را بهدلیل داشتن ابهام و عجز از ایجاد گسترۀ چارچوبمند مصداقی، قابل نقد دانستهاند. همچنین با تمسک به رهیافتهای علم اقتصاد نشان دادهاند ازدیاد یا کاهش قیمت کالاها یا خدمات در شرایط اضطراری همهگیر یا در شرایط عادی از نظرگاه اقتصادی قابل درک، و اقدامات دولتی (از طریق تقنین) برای مداخله در آنها معمولاً ناکارامد، و در نهایت به ضرر مصرفکنندگان خواهد بود و ازاینرو باید استثنایی و محدود به تداومبخشی به فعالیت بازارها باشد. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
Abstract If a person purchases a commodity at a higher price than normal or sells it at a significantly lower price than normal as a result of a personal event, such as a spouse's illness, or of a public catastrophe, such as an earthquake or flood, this event can be said to impose the price on him. Under the Iranian law, the critical question is: what is the legal status of contracts based on imposing the price? To address this topic, the authors conducted a positive (descriptive) substantive analysis on laws and regulations, materials from Islamic legal treatises, and legal opinions. Also, following the economic approach used in this study, the authors examined the legal validity of contracts based on the imposition of prices on distressed and crisis-stricken persons from a positive-normative economic perspective. This positive-normative approach is founded on the theory of price and the concept of economic efficiency, respectively. It should be noted that since the history of the economic debate on this matter predominantly comes predominantly from the American literature, this article needs to be comparative. In Iranian law, according to the predominant view of Shi’i Jurists, Article 206 of the Civil Code considers a transaction motivated by the party’s economic need to be valid. However, based on many pertinent articles, most notably Article 178 of the Maritime Law, some jurists have argued that this is an unfair transaction in which products or services are provided at excessive rates to, or at a lower price purchased from, the distressed party. Some held the contract to be voidable, some found it modifiable, and some considered it valid, though with an option for the distressed party to cancel it. However, based on the predominant view among Shi’i jurists and the express or implicit content of the pertinent rules of Iranian law, a contract motivated by a party’s economic need is valid unless it falls in the scope of the Maritime Law, the rule embodied in which cannot be extended to other contracts, or is deemed anti-competitive in the market, in which case it may be terminated by the Competition Council according to the paragraph 1 of Article 61 of the Law on the General Policies for the Implementation of Article 44 of the Islamic Republic's Constitution. In the US law, section 2-302 of the Uniform Commercial Code, on which most states have based their respective laws directly or implicitly, a contract based on the imposition of an unconscionable price on the distressed party is deemed changeable. Moreover, contracts based on the imposition of prices on individuals affected by catastrophic disasters and crises, such as floods and earthquakes, can be altered and the imposer will face criminal sanctions and financial penalties . It should be emphasized though that using criteria such as unfairness or unconscionability for altering this sort of transactions may be challenged due to their vagueness and incapability to produce objective, well-structured standard. It is also noteworthy that the rise or fall in the price of commodities or services in a widespread or uncommon emergency is reasonable from an economic standpoint, because such events, on the one hand, often impede the production, resulting in large supply reductions and, on the other, lead to dramatic rise in the consumer demand, particularly for certain products and services. According to the pricing mechanism, whenever a product's supply declines and its demand grows, its price will reach its maximum level. This price rise will encourage present and future manufacturers to expand their output, resulting in lower prices and increased consumer welfare. Furthermore, validating the discount sales of economically distressed parties may be an appropriate economic strategy in recessions. However, government interventions (by regulation) are often inefficient and ultimately detrimental to consumers and should thus be limited to cases when it is necessary for the maintenance of the market activity. | ||
