Chinese Civil Code - The Specific Parts

Zum WerkThe first Civil Code of the PRC (CCC), adopted by the Chinese national law makers in May 2020, came into force on January 1st, 2021. The Code has 1260 articles and consists of a General Part and six books on property, contracts, personality rights, marriage and family, succession and torts. As China does not have a separate Commercial Code, the CCC is equally applicable to commercial transactions. In this sense, the Code is not only of interest for comparative law scholars, but also of great importance for business operation in the country.This book strives to provide foreign readers with a systematic and indepth analysis of the Code.The Chinese Civil Code - The Specific Parts' is intended as a volume to follow the 'Chinese Civil Code - The General Part' and covers the six specific books of the Code. In principle, this book is organized in line with the structure of the Code itself. In the CCC, real security and personal security are addressed separately, even though some of the issues are the same. This book consequently designates a separate part for the security law to avoid redundancy and to highlight the significant amendments brought about by the Code and its subsequent judicial interpretation. As contract law makes up nearly a half of the entire Civil Code, this book also puts an emphasis on this area and address six major contract types in detail: the sales contract, lease contract, guaranty contract, mandate contract, factoring contract and technology contract.Vorteile
