The Legal Regulation of Affiliation in The Jordanian Civil Law: The Actions of The Affiliated Person as A Case Study

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the adequacy of the legal provisions of this responsibility to protect the injured. This happens by investigating the ability of the injured party to claim affiliate person the full compensation resulting from the affiliated’s harmful act. Theoretical Framework: The interest of the injured is an interest that leds legislation to deviate from personal responsibility for the harmful act, and added multiple responsibilities, whether for things, or for third parties when certain conditions are met in each responsibility, including the responsibility of the affiliate for the actions of the affiliated person. The judicial rulings tended to take this responsibility based on the legal regulations, but these provisions adhere with the literal legal text. Method: To achieve the aims of the study; the researchers apply the descriptive analytical method, by exposing and analyzing the relevant texts of the law, deducing the contents of the legal texts, and extrapolating the relevant judicial rulings. Results and conclusion: The current research indicates that the solidarity responsibility of the affiliated is considered one of the most important elements of responsibility for the act of others organized by the Jordanian legislator. The main axis in this responsibility is the injured person, that is, as long as there is harm and injured person, there must be a cause of it. Originality/value: This research recommends to encourage key policy makers to amend some articles and rules in the Jordanian civil law to fulfill the legislations gaps that displayed in the current research.
