Ali Hasan Alwan — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This study rigorously delineates the imperative of pre-contractual disclosure in technical assistance contracts, spotlighting the legal necessity for suppliers to provide indispensable technical information vital for efficient recipient resource utilization. Emphasizing informed consent and mutual satisfaction, this pre-contractual mandate, rooted in the principle of good faith, addresses negotiation power imbalances.

The ramifications are dual: rectifying power differentials and ensuring parity in knowledge among contracting parties. The study aims to enrich legislative frameworks for party protection, utilizing qualitative methods for definition and analysis. Results shed light on the nuanced aspects of pre-contractual disclosure, impacting contractual rebalancing and knowledge equality. This research advocates global attention to legislative actions promoting transparency and fairness in technical assistance agreements.
