Abstract:
The company contract, considered as one of the formal contracts that the legislator has
stipulated for its validity the intervention of the notary. Like other contracts, they are affected
by technological changes, in which transactions have become electronic, concluded at a
distance and write them electronically, in compliance with the legal conditions so that it is
equal to writing on paper. However, the intervention of the notary as a public official for the
drafting of the contract in the presence of the parties, was the cause of the absence of explicit
provisions in Algerian law governing the authentic electronic contract. Unlike foreign
laws that regulate this type of contract, which is distinct between normal and exceptional
circumstances. And Arab law includes detailed provisions governing the authentic electronic
contract, these procedures and effects. This requires the intervention of the Algerian
legislator to remedy this deficiency, as long as the general trend is towards the digitization of
transactions and the acceptance of the authentic electronic contract.
