This detailed analysis of the content and configuration of civil
codes in diverse jurisdictions also examines their relationship
with some branches of private law as: family law, commercial law,
consumer law and private international law. It analyzes the
codification, decodification and recodification processes
illuminating the dialogue between current codes - and private law
legislation in general - with Constitutions and International
Conventions.
The commentary elucidates the changing requirements of civil law
as it shifted from an early protection of patrimony to a support
for commercial and contractual law. It also explains the varying
trajectories of civil law, which in some jurisdictions was merged
with religious legal tenets in its codification of familial
relations, while in others it was fused with commercial law or,
indeed, codified from scratch as a discrete legal corpus.
Elsewhere, the volume provides material on differing approaches to
consumer law, where relevant legislation may be scattered across
numerous statutes, and also on private international law, a topic
of increasing relevance in a world where business corporations have
interests in multiple jurisdictions (and often play one off against
another).
The volume features invited contributions from leading scholars
in the field of private law brought together for an in depth
analysis of the current regulatory attitude in this field of the
law in jurisdictions with diverse legal systems and traditions. In
current times we are witnessing the adoption of diverging
regulatory solutions. Through the analysis of the past and present
of private law regulation, the volume unveils the underlying trends
and relevance of the codification method across the world.
