Until the use of the concept of objective justice as a corrective means of Iraqi national dispute rules by considering it as an attributive goal, the basis of attributive justice aims not only to reach out to a framework of engaging the legal relationship with a legal system, but also to search for the best result that can be applied to resolve the dispute. Accordingly, this study aims to establish the necessary reform rules from which the legislator will start in the field of Iraqi attributive rules. Therefore, we recommend the Iraqi legislator include the rule of the harmful act as evaluation means, which is one of the most trusted laws, by making several amendments including Art. 19, 22, and 27 of the Civil Code to avoid any legal issues during the trials in the Iraqi courts.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>attributive Rules</kwd><kwd>Civil Code</kwd><kwd>disputed justice</kwd><kwd>Iraqi legislator</kwd><kwd>legal system</kwd><kwd>objective justice</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Abu Elwafa, A., (1954).
