French Civil Law

French Civil Law is a legal system that governs private relationships between individuals, such as contracts, property, family, and personal rights. Originating from the Napoleonic Code of 1804, it emphasizes written laws and codes that provide clear, comprehensive rules. Unlike common law systems, which rely heavily on judicial decisions, French Civil Law relies more on codified statutes. Its goal is to ensure predictability and fairness in everyday legal matters, offering structured guidelines that individuals and entities can follow for resolving disputes and managing their private affairs efficiently.
