- Abstract
This article deals with parties' pre-estimation of the amount of compensation for non-performance (liquidated damages, penalty clause). It discusses this agreed payment in terms of definition, validity, invocation, and possibility of adjustment upon the application of either party. The article presents the provisions of this legal institution in the Unidroit Principles, the Egyptian Civil Code, and the Jordanian Civil Code. It, first, draws a comparison between these laws in the Arab region and, second, considers them in relation to the Unidroit Principles to conclude with a solution that best serves the parties' interests.
