Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate related claims in Iranian law and Egyptian law. Related lawsuits that may not be within the jurisdiction of the trial court lead to a variety of questions. In this context, it is important whether the Iranian and Egyptian courts in litigation have jurisdiction over the relevant litigation, depending on whether they have jurisdiction over the main litigation? The present article uses a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative approach to consider the position of the Egyptian and Iranian legal systems on these issues. This article shows that the Egyptian and Iranian courts, if they have jurisdiction to hear the main lawsuit, also have jurisdiction to hear related lawsuits. In contrast, in Iranian law, the jurisdiction of a foreign court to hear a major dispute does not preclude a competent Iranian court from hearing a related dispute, but there is disagreement in Egyptian law.
