Discharge of contractual obligations is one of the most important issues in (Iranian) contract law, and Articles 264 to 300 of Iranian Civil Code are devoted to this issue. Inappropriate combination of Islamic Sharia with French law causes some ambiguities in Articles 264 to 300 of the Iranian Civil Code. Moreover, the Iranian legislator has not offered definitions for some factors of discharge of obligations such as fulfilment of obligation, substitution of the obligation, and set off and recoupment. The Iranian legislator has not even mentioned on what basis it has obtained the present categorization for six factors of discharge of obligations, namely: fulfillment of obligation, cancellation of a contract by mutual consent, release from obligation, substitution of a different obligation, offset and recoupment and by acquisition of the debt. This paper exclusively aims to examine, criticize and discuss the problems arising from the Article 264 of the Iranian Civil Code. In this study, the data gathered is of the library type and the research method is both analytical and critical.

Article 264 of the Iranian Civil Code dwells on the discharge of obligation. The objective of this study is to address the lacunae and ambiguities identified in the said article. Toward this end, the article proposes a new classification of the means for the discharge of obligation which is in tune with legal developments in a new world, as well as a set of definitions for five of the six means of discharge left undefined in Article 264. The article begins by interrogating the classification of the means of discharge of and obligation contained and in Article 264, the lack of suitable definitions and the French influence on the drafting of the said article. The article then outlines other possible means for the discharge of obligation not contained in article 264 but are only mentioned in passing in different parts of the Civil Code. Following this, an alternative classification of the means for the discharge of obligation, comprising both direct and indirect means, is offered. The study also draws upon the views of other Islamic commentators on the scope for the improvement of Article 264. This article is a library-based research and the method is analytic and critical. © Medwell Journals, 2014.
