Abstract
In principle, laws should reflect their society and be able to regulate social behavior in accordance with new changes and developments, and be approved based on complete information ; However, studies show that reflecting the current society has become a growing challenge due to its social and technological acceleration, and legislators are unable to fully coordinate with these developments; therefore, one of their solutions to solve these challenges has been temporary legislation.Temporary legislation is used to solve temporary problems, manage emergency situations and highly controversial issues and in innovative areas. This type of legislation includes two tools for determining a specific time (sunset clauses) for the expiration of the law and the experimental enactment of the law. Accordingly, a clause is included in the law for the termination time of the whole law or part of it. Experimental legislation indicates a trial and error approach in social affairs and dynamic learning from its results. Despite its desirable functions, temporary laws have been criticized and are not approved systematically in different systems, but only in specific cases and based on justified reasons.The article analyzes the different aspects of the temporary law using an descriptive and analytical method.
