Brill has just published Lei Chen and CH (Remco) van Rhee (eds),
Towards a Chinese Civil Code: historical
and comparative perspectives (2012):
Currently, China
is drafting its new Civil Code. Against this background, the Chinese legal
community has shown a growing interest in various legal and legislative ideas
from around the world. Within this context, the present book aims at providing
the necessary historical and comparative legal perspectives. It concentrates on
substantive private law and civil procedure, both in China and in other jurisdictions.
These perspectives are of considerable importance for the present codification
work. Additionally, the book is dedicated to commemorating the centennial of
the first Western-influenced and civil law-oriented Civil
Code of China, the Da Qing Min Lü Cao An of 1911.
The following topics are addressed: property law, contract
law, tort law and civil procedure. The book also contains contributions on
codification experiences in Europe and on the
concept of codification in general. The topics are discussed by leading Chinese
and international scholars. Most of the Chinese contributors have taken part in
preparing the Chinese Draft Civil Code.
The book is the outcome of a conference organized by the
Centre for Chinese and Comparative Law (RCCL), School of Law,
City University of Hong Kong, in October 2010.
