The College of Law at the University of Basrah organized a panel discussion on the economics of official promises - does exaggeration have a price in the scope of law?
The panel discussion, in which Dr. Ali Abdel Abbas Naim lectured, showed that the public authorities have many actions, including what is oral and what is written, and in both cases, the work has acquired its official uniform, by issuing it from a specialized public employee or assigned to a public service that the law has granted him the competence to issue. Those acts that are issued by the public authorities are pledges, promises, reassurances, and affirmations, some of which are directed to the public opinion, and some of them are directed to specific individuals themselves, such as if they are contracting with the administration or associated with it in an organizational relationship or litigating with it, and some of it is directed to international organizations, so what is the basis for presenting these pledges? And what is the degree of authenticity? Are they legal acts or material acts issued by the public authorities? What is the responsibility of the public authorities in the event of neglecting them?
