A doctoral thesis in the private law branch on the possession of others’ property / a comparative study,,,
On Sunday, October 13, 2024, the private law branch at the College of Law at the University of Mosul discussed a doctoral thesis on the possession of others’ property / a comparative study, part of which was attended by Professor Dr. Munir Salem Taha, Assistant President of the University of Mosul for Scientific Affairs, and Assistant Professor Dr. Wissam Nemat Ibrahim Al-Saadi, Dean of the College of Law.
The thesis submitted by researcher Ali Ghaleb Karim in the private law branch dealt with the sources establishing the obligation in the applicable civil laws, especially the Iraqi civil law, which are the contract, the unilateral will, the illegal act, and the unjustified gain and the text of the law, which were known by Islamic jurisprudence. In addition to that, there is a sixth source that fulfills the obligation, which is the possession of others’ property. Its provisions have been regulated in every case in which the owned money is found in the hand of someone other than its owner, whether his hand is a hand of trust that later turned into a hand of guarantee or his hand is a hand of guarantee, so its provisions were scattered in many different chapters and topics.
The thesis aims to show that the guarantee of the hand is considered a wide-ranging legal system that governs every possession of another’s property. Despite the Iraqi legislator’s organization of the possession of another’s property within the sources of voluntary and involuntary obligations, the laws did not recognize it and did not organize it with an independent legal system, as its provisions were distributed within legal systems that have no relation to it. The discussion committee was headed by Professor Dr. Akram Mahmoud Hussein, and the membership of Professor Dr. Yusra Walid Ibrahim, Professor Dr. Raeda Muhammad Mahmoud, Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Salah Yassin, Assistant Professor Dr. Nizar Hazem Muhammad, and the membership and supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Habib Idris Issa.
