English abstract
This study addressed the topic of legislative coercion in contracting and its impact
on the autonomy of the will. The thesis presented the concept of mandatory contracts
and their effect on the element of consent, providing practical applications of these
contracts.
The research highlighted the problem of the absence of a legislative basis for
legislative coercion in contracting, with no governing texts. Instead, legislators enact
contracts and compel parties or a party to enter into them, raising questions about the
criteria of these regulations, their justifications, and the extent of protection they
afford to the autonomy of the will.
The study began in its first chapter by presenting the concept of mandatory contracts
and their aspects. It then analyzed the impact of these contracts on the element of
consent and the autonomy of the contracting parties' will. Following this, it
distinguished these contracts from similar ones. Subsequently, the study moved on to
two practical applications of mandatory contracts in its second chapter, examining
the consequences of these contracts. The researcher adopted an analytical approach
in this study based on the principles of Omani legislation.
