Criminal Procedure Code adopted in 2014 has affected the scope of moral damages and loss of profit from some perspectives. On the one hand, the extent of civil liability for any moral damages to injured party has increased. According to article 14 of the Code, the harm in both forms of loss of reputation and mental distress leads to the civil liability of injurer. On the other hand, the scope of recoverable moral damages and loss of profits, that is, the scope of civil liability of the persons has been sharply reduced. In cases where blood money is paid and the Islamic punishment is imposed, these two types of damage cannot be compensated. In this regard, the legislator has stopped up even further by stating that this type of damage is compensable when the loss of profit compensation can be equal to the destruction. Finally, based on article 14 (1) Criminal Procedure Code, the scope of remedy for compensating moral damages has expanded. In other words, moral damages can be compensated through pecuniary and non-pecuniary way.

Compensation for damages arising from a breach of contractual obligationsshould place the injured party in the position he would have been in had thecontract not been breached. By accepting the idea of full compensation, theUNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts as well as theConvention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980), judicialprecedents, and international arbitration awards have recognised this approach.Despite the recognition of the principle of compensation, this theory is subject tocontroversy in Iranian law, particularly in the event of damages caused by theloss of anticipatory benefits. From justice and economic efficiency perspectivesand for the sake of adapting Iranian commercial rules with ones reflected ininternational trade instruments, and for considering the affirmative religiousjurisprudential principles, it is recommended that effective steps should be takentowards the removal of all existing legal barriers in Iranian law.
