The key to the success of any civil contract is its stability. However, despite the principle of stability, the legislation provides for cases of possible early dissolution and change of a contract or unilateral refusal to perform a contract. This article is devoted to a detailed review of such cases, as well as to the general provisions on dissolution of contracts in the civil law system of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

2. Methods of Dissolution of a Contract

To start with, as a General rule, a change or dissolution of a contract shall be possible by agreement of the parties. However, this provision is of a dispositive nature, which indicates that the parties can restrict or exclude the application of this provision, and this provision will not be applied if the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan or other laws provide otherwise (article 382 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan). For example, if a contract is concluded in favor of a third party, the parties will not be able to dissolve or change a contract without the consent of this third party from the moment the third party expresses its intention to the debtor to exercise its right under the contract. Thus, a contract dissolved or changed without the consent of a third party may be declared invalid by the court at the claim of the latter. However, a contract or legislation may provide for a different procedure (article 362 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan).

Also, a contract shall be changed or dissolved upon the demand of one of the parties by decision of a court. In particular, a contract can be dissolved or changed in the event of a material breach of a contract by one of the parties. Furthermore, a contract or law may provide for other cases. In turn, material terms are the terms on the subject of a contract, which are named in the law or in other legal acts as material terms of a contract or such terms as are necessary for contracts of this type. Moreover, material terms are all those terms which shall be reconciled by the parties of a contract (paragraph 3 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme economic Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 203 dated 18.12.09). A breach of a contract by one of the parties which entails for the other party such damage that it is deprived in significant degree which it had the right to count on when concluding the contract shall be deemed to be material (article 382 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan). In practice, the materiality of the breach of a contract is determined by the court. Besides, as mentioned above, the law may provide for specific cases where the breach of a certain term is recognized as material, which enables the injured party with the right to unilaterally dissolve a contract by the decision of a court. Such an example is article 455 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, which prescribes that a unilateral refusal to perform a contract is allowed for the following material breaches:

  • The supplier has delivered goods of poor quality that cannot be repaired within a reasonable time for the buyer;
  • The supplier repeatedly violates the terms of delivery of goods;
  • The buyer repeatedly violates the payment terms;
  • In case of repeated non-selection of goods by the buyer.

Besides, a contract may provide for cases and grounds on which one of the parties will have the right to request changes or termination of the agreement.

In addition, a contract may be terminated or amended by the court if the circumstances have changed materially, namely, the circumstances from which the parties proceeded when concluding a contract (article 383 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan). A change of circumstances shall be deemed to be material if the parties could reasonably foresee this? The contract would not have been concluded at all by them or it would have been concluded on significantly differing conditions . Due to a material change in circumstances, a contract may be dissolved or changed if the following conditions are met simultaneously:

  1. At the moment concluding the contract the parties proceeded from the fact that such a change of circumstances would not occur;
  2. the change of circumstances has been caused by reasons which the interested party could not overcome after they arose with that degree o concern and care which are required of him by the character of the contract and the conditions of turnover;
  3. The performance of the contract in such circumstances would cause the interested party such damage that it will lose what it was entitled to expect at the conclusion of the contract;
  4. it does not follow from business practices or from the substance of the contract itself that the claim for changes in circumstances is borne by the interested party.

Also, it should be borne in mind that changing a contract due to a material change in circumstances is allowed only in exceptional cases:

  • when dissolution of a contract is contrary to the public interest; or
  • will cause damage to the parties that is significantly greater than if the terms of the contract are changed.

This method of dissolution or change of a contract may also be excluded by the agreement.

So, we have come to the third method of dissolution or change of a contract, in particular, unilateral refusal to perform a contract. Unilateral refusal to perform a contract is possible only in two cases:

  • When a contract explicitly states when one of the parties may unilaterally refuse to perform the contract;
  • When a law allows unilateral refusal (article 382 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan).

Thus, if the parties did not specify in the contract that a unilateral refusal is permissible and did not agree in which cases it is permissible, and if the law for this type of contract does not explicitly specify that one of the parties has the right unilaterally to refuse to perform the contract, then a unilateral refusal to perform the contract is unacceptable. A unilateral refusal may be made in full or in part. Refusal in full is considered dissolution of the contract, and partially-its change. It is important to understand that in the event of a unilateral refusal, the agreement is considered dissolved or changed in fact. Paragraph 25 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Economic Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 18.12.09 No. 203 indicates that in case of unilateral refusal, dissolution (through the previous methods) of a contract is not required. Hence, it should be understood that a unilateral refusal to perform a contract, made in accordance with the law or the contract, does not require applying to the court with a claim for change or dissolution of the contract. However, even if one of the parties filed a claim for dissolution of a contract and the contract contains a condition for its unilateral refusal, such a claim must be considered by the court according to the General rules (paragraph 26 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 18.12.09 No. 203).

3. The Procedure for Change and Dissolution of a Contract

If a contract is dissolved or changed by an agreement of the parties:

There is no need to apply to a court. Parties shall make an agreement to change or dissolve a contract. Such an agreement must be made in the same form as the contract itself (article 384 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan). For example, if the contract was certified, then the agreement must also be certified. However, if the contract, legislation or custom of business provides for a different procedure, the agreement must be concluded in such a different procedure.

If the agreement is dissolved or changed through the court unilaterally:

Demand concerning a change or dissolution of a contract may be submitted to the court only after the party has proposed to the other party to change or dissolve the contract and:

  • whether has been refused this offer;
  • Or did not receive a response within the time period stipulated in the offer, contract or law, and in the absence of such deadlines within 30 days (article 384 of the civil code of the Republic of Uzbekistan).

In this case, the 30-day period is calculated from the date of receipt of the offer, and if the deadline for receiving the offer is unknown, then the 30-day period is calculated from the date of expiration of the normally necessary time for the other party to receive the offer to change or dissolve a contract (paragraph 18 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 18.12.09 No. 203).

If the court, when considering the case of dissolution or change of a contract, finds that the contract has not been concluded or its validity period has expired, the court will refuse the claim (paragraph 21 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 18.12.09 No. 203).

If the contract is dissolved or changed by unilateral refusal to perform the contract:

There is no need to apply to the court. For unilateral refusal to perform the contract, it is sufficient to notify the other party (paragraph 25 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Economic Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 203 dated 18.12.09). In case of unilateral refusal to perform a contract in full, the contract is considered dissolved (if according to the contract or the law). In case of unilateral refusal to perform a contract partially, the contract is considered changed (if according to the contract or the law).

4. Consequences of Contract Dissolution and Change

In the event of the change of a contract, the obligations of the parties shall be preserved in the changed form. In the event of the dissolution of the contract the obligations of the parties shall terminate.

In particular, the obligations are considered to be changed or dissolved from the moment of:

  • Conclusion of an agreement to change or dissolve the contract; or
  • The entry into force of a court decision to change or dissolve the contract; or
  • Unilateral refusal to perform the contract by one of the parties.

Please note that the agreement itself may provide that the contract will be considered changed or dissolved not from the moment of conclusion of the agreement, but, for example, after 15 days. Also, if an agreement requires registration (for example, a real estate purchase and sale agreement) when it is changed or dissolved, the change or termination of the obligation will occur after such registration.

The parties may not demand the return of what was performed by them under the obligation prior to the change or dissolution of a contract. However, this rule is dispositive, and a contract, agreement, or law may specify otherwise.

In addition, if dissolution or change of a contract based on material breach of the contract, the injured party may claim damages caused by the change or dissolution.

5. Invalid Transaction vs. Contract Dissolution

The differences between the invalidity of a transaction and the dissolution of a contract are as follows:

  • Various grounds;
  • The invalidity of the transaction is based on its illegality, while the dissolution of a contract is based on the occurrence of circumstances leading to dissolution. The validity of the contract is not disputed in case of dissolution;
  • The transaction is considered invalid from the moment of its completion and does not bear any legal consequences (except those related to its invalidity). Dissolution of a contract does not affect the rights and obligations during the term of the contract, but only affects the future rights and obligations of the parties;
  • The demand to dissolve a contract is allowed during the term of the agreement. A transaction may be declared invalid even after the expiration of this transaction (paragraph 3 of the resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Economic Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. 269 dated 28.11.14).
