Synopsis

This book is a detailed translation of Japan's first Civil Code, which was heavily influenced by German law. In contrast to English law, this code does not distinguish between real and personal property; instead, many rules relating to property are stated in a general form that applies to all kinds of property. The law also introduced concepts alien to the English system, such as the distinction between obligations and rights and the idea of a 'juridical person'. The author provides context for the code by discussing the history of Japanese law and its adaptation to a modern nation-state. Overall, this book is a thorough explanation of the Japanese Civil Code, which provides valuable insights into the Japanese legal system.
