Life After the New Civil Code - Two Years of Enforcement

摘要

Praised or criticized, the New Civil Code has been implemented! Being waited for with enthusiasm or reluctance, received with confidence or fear, implemented in hesitation or with courage, the New Civil Code has became a normative reality governing social relations for two years now. It has been implemented by the professional practitioners for two years. Two years since the New Civil Code has been interpreted and assessed by theoreticians. Two years for the New Civil Code to reveal its share of performance and vulnerabilities. The date of 1st of October 2013, when there have been two years since the implementation of the Civil Code, gives us the change of highlighting some general observations on the importance and the effect of the civil legislative reform. To this end, we intend to draw this paperwork on fourth sections. The first section shall review the reasons which determined the change in the Civil Code. The second section shall indicate the social background and the procedure used in the amendment of the civil law. The third section shall indicate both the criticism generated by the implementation and the enforcement of the New Civil Code and the reactions against that criticism. The fourth sections shall introduce the main amendments in the civil legislation brought until October 1, 2013.
