Synthesis Report,
2026
Professor at the Faculty of Law, Rabat
Synthesis Report, Omar Azziman
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Omar Azziman explains that the Moroccan DOC, initially the most poorly received of all 1913 codes, was strongly criticized for its clumsiness, length, uncertainties, hesitations, and terminology. Critics also accused it of being neither insensitive to Islamic law nor impermeable to Germanic legal thought. However, these criticisms faded, and by the 1960s, doctrine became rather praiseful, hailing the DOC as an original work achieving a miraculous synthesis of Islamic law and modern European legislation. The DOC had fulfilled its mission as the legal foundation of Morocco's newly established economic system. Azziman notes that since 1965, considerable changes have occurred, challenging …
Article 54 Of The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts: Why Has It Not Been Applied?,
2026
FSJES Ain Chock, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco
Article 54 Of The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts: Why Has It Not Been Applied?, Mohammed Azzeddine Benseghir
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Mohammed Azzeddine Benseghir asks why Article 54 of the Moroccan DOC remains unapplied in practice. Article 54 allows contract rescission based on illness or similar grounds, protecting certain vulnerable persons, including non-interdicted or non-institutionalized mentally ill individuals. The author analyzes the article's components: rescission motives, protected persons, judicial powers, and the nature of nullity. He then explores possible interpretations of Article 54, considering it as a remedy for gaps in traditional consent defects (fraud, mistake, duress) and lesion. Finally, he examines Article 54 as a potential foundation for a theory of exploitation in contract law, suggesting this overlooked provision might …
The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts And Ecological Damage: The Environment At The Boundaries Of Nuisance Law,

The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts And Ecological Damage: The Environment At The Boundaries Of Nuisance Law, Mohamed Ali Mekouar
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Mohamed Ali Mekouar asks whether the Moroccan DOC, despite its age, can address modern ecological damage. He notes that environmental degradation is a defining phenomenon of the late 20th century, yet the DOC dates from 1913, long before such concerns emerged. Is it not illusory to seek ecological solutions in an aging code whose drafters could not have foreseen industrial pollution or resource depletion? Mekouar refuses to answer too hastily in the affirmative, suggesting that condemning the DOC for senility would be premature. Instead, he explores whether legal mechanisms at the borders of traditional nuisance law (voisinage) might offer pathways …
Lesion In The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts,

FSJES Ain Chock, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco
Lesion In The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts, Azzedine Kettani
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Azzedine Kettani examines the doctrine of lesion (laesio)—gross economic imbalance in a contract—within the Moroccan DOC. He notes that the DOC provides no definition of lesion, nor do other codes. Rather than merely measuring the "wrinkles" of this aging code, Kettani seeks to explore a part of the DOC that has remained intact not because of its robust constitution, but because it has rarely been invoked. Some might argue the DOC was born handicapped, and jurisprudence has failed to improve its deficiencies regarding lesion. Kettani acknowledges he may not be entirely praiseful toward the code or Moroccan jurisprudence, which has …

Articles 79 And 80 Of The Doc And The Evolution Of Jurisprudence On This Subject (Some Current Aspects Of Administrative Liability In Morocco), Hassan Ouazzani Chahdi
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Hassan Ouazzani Chahdi examines Articles 79 and 80 of the DOC, which address administrative liability in Morocco. Article 79 holds the State and municipalities liable for damages directly caused by their administration's functioning and service-related faults of their agents. Article 80 holds agents personally liable for harm caused by fraud (dol) or gross misconduct during their duties, with the State/municipality liable only if the responsible official is insolvent. The author notes that in 1958, Professor Paul Decroux observed that the DOC was poorly received by legal practitioners, with many wishing for its repeal or revision. These critical observations apply equally …
Reflections On Delictual And Contractual Fault In The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts,

Reflections On Delictual And Contractual Fault In The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts, Françoise Monéger
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Françoise Monéger examines whether the Moroccan DOC's alleged "defect" in not strictly maintaining the distinction between tortious and contractual obligations might actually be an advantage. Citing a 1944 author who attributed this blurring to the DOC's complex origins reconciling European legislations with Islamic law, Monéger notes that French doctrine now questions this distinction due to its absurdities and difficulties. She observes that Moroccan jurisprudence has not always rigorously respected the separation, with many decisions basing liability on tortious obligation articles (77 ff.) even when parties were bound by contract. She suggests the DOC may resemble recent codes that unify both …
From The Civilist Conception Of Contractual Unilateral Termination To The Statutory Notion Of Dismissal,

Faculty of Law, Rabat
From The Civilist Conception Of Contractual Unilateral Termination To The Statutory Notion Of Dismissal, A Bouadhain
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
A. Bouadhain examines the evolution from civil law's contractual approach to unilateral termination toward labor law's statutory concept of dismissal in Moroccan law. The study analyzes how employment relationship cessation differs from standard contract termination. The author outlines various forms of cessation: suspension of the employment relationship (exclusive causes, illness, disciplinary layoff, force majeure), employee resignation, mutual agreement termination, non-renewal of fixed-term contracts, unilateral and substantial modification of indefinite-term contracts, and employer-fault termination. This research highlights the tension between civil law's individualistic contractual framework and labor law's protective statutory regime, demonstrating how employment termination requires distinct legal treatment beyond traditional …
Unconditional Guarantees In International Trade And Moroccan Law Of Obligations And Contracts,
2026
FSJES Ain Chock, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Morocco
Unconditional Guarantees In International Trade And Moroccan Law Of Obligations And Contracts, François-Paul Blanc Blanc
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
François-Paul Blanc explains that the global market shift to a "buyer's market" has prioritized buyer guarantees over the past fifteen years. Importers now protect themselves against all risks linked to potential exporter default, particularly in developing countries where industrial installations cannot always be precisely evaluated by local experts. The exporter's guarantee obligation is often considered insufficient. For major equipment markets, third-party guarantees from entities with unquestionable financial stature are systematically required by project owners who can impose their conditions due to competitive bidding. These conditions frequently take the form of autonomous security instruments, whose validity under Moroccan law remains subject …
The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts And Social Law,
2026
UH2C Press
The Dahir Of Obligations And Contracts And Social Law, Ahmed El Aouani
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Ahmed El Aouani narrows the broad field of social law to focus on individual labor relations. He addresses whether labor law's autonomy from civil law is fiction or necessity, as labor law embodies a more protective philosophy. While scholars disagree on absolute autonomy, they unanimously recognize two distinct spirits: civil law as "conservative" and labor law as a recognized haven of "progressivism." El Aouani rejects the idea of absolute autonomy for individual labor relations, noting that despite increased state intervention, the individual employment contract remains the true source of party obligations. However, he argues it is necessary to alter and …
