Abstract
The resolution condition, unlike the right to resolve a contract, which leads to the creation of the right of rescission, will automatically dissolve the contract, and its effect is not subject to the creditor’s will. However, the beneficiary of the resolution condition may seek to avoid the condition and secure his interests through the continuation of the contractual relationship or using other guarantees to enforce the breach of contract after the fulfillment of the condition. The possibility of waiving the resolution clause is a point of dispute both in doctrine and in judicial precedents. Opponents of the possibility of waiving the resolution condition emphasize the coercive nature of the effect of such condition and the impossibility of restoring the dissolved contract, and on the other hand, among the reasons of the proponents, one can emphasize the protective nature of the resolution condition. This research, using jurisprudential and comparative law and judicial precedent, has concluded that due to the distinction between resolution clause and the right to rescission institutions in Iranian law, it is not logically possible to unilaterally deviate from the resolution condition. However the parties can agree on the renewal of the contract after the fulfillment of the resolution condition.
