Legal analysis of draft law No. 7441-1 in the context of credit relations parties’ rightsduring martial law

Abstract

This article provides a legal analysis of draft law No. 7441-1, which was adopted in the first reading at the time of conducting this research. It is noted that the draft law in its current form will not effectively protect either citizens-borrowers or creditors, and its norms risk becoming stillborn. Ways to solve the outlined problems are proposed.
