Abstract

Establishing justice in contracts has always been the subject of many challenges, most notably the differences in explaining the concept of justice as well as the various ways in which it is implemented, including distributive and corrective justice. Accordingly, the main challenge of this research is to examine the concept of corrective justice and its place in the field of contract law and to examine some of its important instances in common law Iranian law. At the end of this article, it will be clear that reform justice is nowadays applied in the field of contract law in the assumption that the benefit of one contract equals the loss of the other party and that the correction of wrongful conduct in the performance of contracts is the result. This face of justice is in many ways, including disgorgement, expectation interest, contra proferentem in current contract law.

Keywords: reciprocal justice, distributive justice, disgorgement, expectation interest, contra proferentem.
