Exemption from contractual liability provisions in Omani law

Abstract:

This research examines the condition of exemption from contractual liability under the Omani Civil Transactions Law, in comparison with the Egyptian Civil Law. An agreement to exempt from contractual liability constitutes a departure from the general rules of liability. Furthermore, the Omani legislator did not include an explicit text permitting an agreement to exempt from contractual liability, unlike the Egyptian legislator, despite the fact that it included numerous applications of such agreements. If the contracting parties agree to exempt from contractual liability, this does not mean that the parties' will is absolute; rather, it is subject to a set of restrictions that must be observed.
