Talk:Civil code

Old post[edit]

what's the importance of the Civil Code of Quebec that it has to be mentioned in the "Important civil codes" section?

I suppose because someone from Canada added it. It wasn't in my original version of this page. Martg76 08:34, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's the only province of Canada which has a civil code, much like Louisiana in the U.S.

It's unique because it exists within one of the few bijural countries in the world.

Dual jurisdictions like Louisiana, Quebec, and South Africa are very interesting.

From the Civil Code of Quebec article: The reform process that led to the replacement of the Civil Code of Lower Canada by the Civil Code of Quebec was one of the largest legislative recodification undertakings in any civil law jurisdiction. --thirty-seven 17:30, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

California[edit]

I put in the California civil code as an example of a statute called civil code which arguably does not fit within the history of civil codes and civil law in the way that the others do.

California has a section law called the civil code, but it is very unlike the Civil Code as meant here. I'm sure other states might have similar sections. California uses common law with some Civil Code-inspired influences, such as community property. Nonetheless the California Supreme Court creates a binding precedent for all courts in California to follow, as in common law. In Louisiana, this is not true. Each court interprets the law exactly as written. Also, there are differences in what makes a contract, inheritance, and a handful of other rules that make Civil code very distinct from common law. 70.103.72.210 (talk) 00:33, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Precedence vs Civil Code[edit]

I'm curious how the whole system of the civil code stands up to something like precedence. In light of a civil code does precedence carry much less weight in a court of law?

There is no binding precedent in civil law systems. Civil law judges think it's ridiculous that later courts should be bound by the decisions of earlier courts. 213.208.214.206 (talk) 08:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First code in America[edit]

"The first civil code promulgated in America was that of Louisiana of 1804" I don't have the exact date for the Louisiana code, but if the French civil code of 1804 was applied in French Guiana and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, perhaps these territories are the first parts of America with a civil code?

Acording to my data, the actual date of the Lousiana Code is 1822. It is still the first in America, but not contemporary to the Napoleonic Code.--Wgarciamachmar (talk) 13:59, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Minpo[edit]

Perhaps an article on the Minpo, the Japanese civil code is long overdue? --WoodElf 15:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection needed[edit]

I just caught and reverted this vandalism on 26 January 2009. We need semi-protection on this article ASAP. --Coolcaesar (talk) 04:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Difference between a 'civil code' and a 'constitution'?[edit]

Having read this I'm still not clear what the difference between a civil code and a written constitution (e.g. of the US or Ireland) is. Could anybody clarify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.64.240 (talk) 23:36, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Main article for Code de Civil used to display as formost human rights, and also have links to full UN-EDITED text

now the link to human rights (personal rights link), also UDHR, is missing and only copy of full text i've seen so far doesn't even mention freedom of speech: which i guarantee is full of crap - the original full text has it
