Franchise Contract in Jordanian Legislation: A comparative Study

Abstract

Abstract This research study emphasizes the key elements of the franchise contract as a modern contract with which there was no legislative system for its provisions in the Arab countries as a whole. As no Arab legislative system has ever brought up such form of contracts, the researcher applied descriptive, analytical, and comparative methods to achieve the desired goal of this study, which is to address the areas of ambiguity and deficiencies that surrounded it and try to compile its dispersed texts and suggest some solutions that may facilitate the provisions of this contract and work with it in the interest of both parties to the contract. Therefore, the researcher reached for a set of results and recommendations, the most important of which was the presence of some miscellaneous texts related to commercial franchise contracts in Jordanian and comparative legislation despite the absence of a legal system that shows the merits and parts of the franchise contract. As for this matter, the researcher recommends the necessity of regulating its provisions through its own legislative system, and the necessity of imposing penal sanctions anytime a party would violate any breach of the contract.
