Civil Code (France)

The French Civil Code, known as the "Code Napoléon," was established in 1804 and serves as a foundational legal document that outlines private law in France. It governs areas such as contracts, property, family law, and obligations. The code aims to provide clear and accessible legal rules, promoting equality and individual rights. Its influence extends beyond France, serving as a model for civil law systems in various countries. The Civil Code has been revised over time to adapt to societal changes while maintaining its core principles of justice and order in legal matters.
