Abstract: PurposeThis paper aims to know the legal nature of the court’s discretionary power in business contract revocation.Design/methodology/approachFollowing the normative method that analyzes legislation using secondary data consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials, this research was conducted during the period November, 2023 – February, 2024. Moreover, studies that addressed the legal nature of the court’s discretionary power in business contract revocation and published since 2000 were included. The focus was made upon the business contract’s retroactive effect in relation to the Court’s discretionary power.FindingsFrom the initial 312 studies reviewed, 20 met the inclusion criteria. The business contract's retroactive effect in relation to the Court’s discretionary power has been considered by the relatively small number of studies included in the review. Researchers from different countries explored the phenomenon, using different approaches to explore the topic. However, none of these researchers has examined the phenomenon in the Jordanian Context.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is unique, as it examines the legal nature of the court’s discretionary power in business contract revocation, which has not been investigated in the Jordanian context. The previous researches on business contract revocation have addressed laws other than the Jordanian law.Practical implicationsThis research will be a guide for the Jordanian legislation to draft a business contract law that regulates the court's interference in cases of business contract revocation and clearly specify its role in this regard.Social implicationsThis research will increase the Jordanian people's awareness of the legal nature of court in cases of business contract revocation. Moreover, it will make them familiar with the current laws so that they will legally deal with cases of this kind.Originality/valueIt is very important to conduct this research to review the papers and laws related to business contract revocation in Jordan since this issue has not been investigated.
