Abstract

Undoubtedly, one of the most important concerns in lodging a petition and initiating a lawsuit is the scope of hearing within the limitations of the petition. Legitimacy, nature of rule and its limits seem to be important in order to clarify based on what criteria the scope of hearing is determined or limited or forbidden. The scope of hearing within the limitations of the petition can be inferred from the spirit and letter of Civil Procedure and some jurisprudential guidelines. The findings show that observance of this imperative procedural rule is a must in all hearing stages and is subject to sanction. There are some exceptions to the subject of the scope of hearing within the limitations of the petition but, these exceptions must be interpreted restrictively in favor of observance of this rule and other legal principles and rules including the principle of Impartiality of Judges. The present descriptive-analytical research examines this rule and the limitations of the court’s authority to add parts to or omit parts of the petition and the lawsuit on the basis of legal principles and jurisprudential guidelines and also it aims to provide some suggestions in this regard.
