These new institutions leave various impacts on different parts of the existing legal system. Consumer law, as one of the influential legal regimes aimed at protecting consumers' rights against suppliers, has introduced extensive principles and rules across diverse topics and dimensions. Consequently, it has had significant effects on the existing legal system in related areas. Given that a substantial portion of social relations is conducted through contracts, one of the most affected fields by consumer law is contract law. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method, examines the impacts that the fundamental principles of consumer law can have on the contract law system. The present research distinguishes between principles and rules, clarifies the functions of principles in the mechanism of influence, and identifies the instances of these rights, analyzing the ways in which these principles affect the contract law system. The study concludes that the fundamental principles of consumer law can play roles—at varying degrees—in all four modes of influence: adjustment and transformation of contract law, allocation of contract law, supplementation, and interpretation of contract law.</p> https://jlsda.com/index.php/lsda/article/download/115/87
