Watching Out For Contracts Of Adhesion

This case, in which Al Tamimi successfully represented the Defendant at all stages of the proceedings, is significant because the Court of Cassation established a new legal precedent with respect to Contracts of Adhesion.

Although broadcasting organizations provide public services, these services cannot be classified as being performed under contracts of adhesion because there exist many competing organizations providing similar services.

Summary

The Court of Cassation established that for a contract to be characterized as a contract of adhesion it should satisfy three distinctive conditions. Failure to meet these three conditions will see the contract characterized as a normal contract.
