Abstract

Today, pioneering economic factors have caused interactors to advance their economic and business goals conclude contracts in different ways which are unusual with the known traditional legal rules. By including these ways are the conclusion of multiple or mutually interdependent contracts, whether they have a common purpose or a similar subject, known as the "Contractual Group". This contractual way, because of the many surrounding parties are involved in and required great contracting operations in the local and international deals, and sometimes it is possible lead to conflict of interest or termination or cancellation between those involved. It requires increasing scrutiny that have given two considerations about : First, contracts affect each other and the cancellation or termination of one affects the validity of other contracts, and second, contracts are independent of each other despite mutual contractual interdependence and have separate effects on contractual relations. The present article attempts to provide a preliminary analysis of this legal phenomenon.
