Abstract
Discharge of contractual obligations is one of the most important legal subjects addressed in Articles 264 to 300 of the Iranian Civil Code. Iranian law is a blend of Islamic law and Roman-Germanic law. While the form of the Civil Code was modelled on the French equivalent, its substantive content was based on Islamic law. There is no separate section under the title of contract law in the Iranian Civil Code but most of the legal Articles related to the contract law are listed in contracts and obligations from the Article 183 onward. According to Article 264, obligations can be discharged in one of the ways including fulfillment of obligation, cancellation contract by mutual consent, release from the obligation, substitution of different obligation, set off and recoupment and acquisition of the debt. This study, aims to identify the legal system and discharge of contractual obligations in the civil law of Iran. This study is of library type and uses descriptive methodology.
