Article 48 of Real Estate Registration Law

English translation

An agent may not contract with himself in the name of the principal unless this is expressly stipulated in the power of attorney. However, the principal may approve the agent’s acts in this case, whereupon they become valid, for subsequent ratification is equivalent to prior authorization.
Arabic original
لا يجوز للوكيل ان يتعاقد مع نفسه باسم الموكل الا اذا نص على ذلك صراحة في الوكالة. الا انه يجوز للموكل الموافقة على تصرفات الوكيل في هذه الحالة فتصبح صحيحة فالاجازة اللاحقة كالوكالة السابقة.
