Civil Liability of Notaries in Iran’s Law

Abstract

<p>In the past centuries there was no specific institution for documentation and due to this some people who were more literate would do documentation but they constantly evaded their responsibility and this would sometimes bring about complications; thus, in the present century the legislator founded an institution called “notary offices” in order to resolve these problems, and gave the responsibility to a person called “notary”, and based on this he/she codified specific regulations in order to create the civil liability resulting from the liability-causing actions of notaries, and only by attaining certain conditions and within the boundary of regulations, civil liability of notaries will be met.</p>
