Recent changes in Family Law have indirectly brought on changes in the law of successions. On two points, however, proposed solutions are uncertain. The first point involves adoption and the relative scope of Articles 626 and 623 of the Québec Civil Code. Do the effects of the adoption go back in time to the day that the placement application for adoption was filed in the event that one of the adopters is deceased some time between the petition for placement and the application for adoption ? The second point concerns the effects of natural filiation. Does Article 594 of the Québec Civil Code eliminate all differences between the two kinds of filiation ?

Abstract A marriage can be terminated in two ways in China, by registration or by litigation. Recently, China’s crude divorce rate has been gradually rising. Reforms are being carried out by the judiciary by introducing more supportive measures in divorce litigation. The legislature is writing drafts of the marriage and family part in the Civil Code. In the third draft, proposed articles would change the law on divorce slightly. These reforms reflect some trends in the development of Chinese family law. With respect to some debates on these reforms, the author suggests there could be a better way to draw up drafts. At the level of the judiciary, the present family justice reform has its advantages, and this bottom-up reform should be adhered to.

In this paper, we wish to make a few comments on the third edition of the hungarian translation of the Romanian Civil Code, without claiming to be exhaustive. Our translation suggestions concern certain provisions of personal (and family) law, law of property and law of obligations. We will expand on the concepts of legal personality, legal capacity and capacity to act in the personal law section, the concepts of property and assets in the law of property section, and the relationship between the concepts of legal fact and deed in the law of obligations section, and then make translation and correction suggestions for all the other articles in the books mentioned.

Considering that on 1 October 2011 took place a real reform of the internationalprivate law with the entrance into force of the new Romanian Civil Code, the provisions of theinternational private law were gathered in Book VII “International Private Law Provisions”,aiming to integrate the revised Law No 105/1992 to synchronize its provisions with the newconception on family law stated in the code and with the European and internationalinstruments in the area of international private law. Specifically, the provisions of the newCivil Code on contractual and extra-contractual obligations are in accordance with theEuropean law found in Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and theCouncil of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I), as well asin Regulation (EC) No 864/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations (Rome II).

The Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (LRA) which was passed in 1976 and came into force on 1st March 1982, standardized the laws concerning non-Muslim family matters. Many family issues concerning non-Muslim have emerged ever since, the most important being the effects of unilateral conversion to Islam by one of the parties to the marriage. There has been a lot of public hue and cry for amendments to be made to the LRA. After much deliberation, the Malaysian Parliament finally passed the amendments to the LRA in October 2017, which came into force in December 2018. Although the amendments have addressed selected family law issues, the most important amendment on child custody in a unilateral conversion to Islam was dropped from the Bill at the last minute. Howsoever, at the end of the day, the real question that needs to be addressed is whether the amendments have resolved the major issues that have arisen over the past four decades? Hence, the purpose of this article is as follows: first, to examine the brief background to the passing of the LRA, secondly, to analyse the 2017 amendments, thirdly, to identify the weaknesses that still exist in the LRA, and finally, to suggest recommendations to overcome these weaknesses by comparing the Malaysian position with the Singaporean position. In conclusion, it is submitted that despite the recent amendments to the LRA, much needs to be done to overcome all the remaining issues that have still not been addressed.

Formal Requirements

This chapter gives an overview of the law on contract formation and third party beneficiaries in Cambodia. Much of the discussion is tentative since the new Cambodian Civil Code only entered into force from 21 December 2011 and there is little case law and academic writing fleshing out its provisions. The Code owes much to the Japanese Civil Code of 1898 and, like the latter, does not have a requirement of consideration and seldom imposes formal requirements but there are a few statutory exceptions from the principle of freedom from form. For a binding contract, the agreement of the parties is required and the offer must be made with the intention to create a legally binding obligation and becomes effective once it reaches the offeree. The new Code explicitly provides that the parties to the contract may agree to confer a right arising under the contract upon a third party. This right accrues directly from their agreement; it is not required that the third party declare its intention to accept the right.

The Law

This chapter discusses the law on third party beneficiaries in Japan; mostly characterized by adherence to the German model that still bears an imprint on Japanese contract law. Thus, there is neither a doctrine of consideration nor any other justification for a general doctrine of privity, and contracts for the benefit of third parties are generally enforceable as a matter of course. Whether an enforceable right on the part of a third party is created is simply a matter of interpretation of the contract which is always made on a case-by-case analysis but there are a number of typical scenarios where the courts normally find the existence (or non-existence) of a contract for the benefit of a third party. In the recent debate on reform of Japanese contract law, wide-ranging suggestions were made for revision of the provisions on contracts for the benefit of third parties in the Japanese Civil Code. However, it turned out that reform in this area was confined to a very limited codification of established case law.

Regspraak: What it means to be a parent: implications for family law and the law of intestate succession

Die Gautengse afdeling van die hooggeregshof (Pretoria) het in Wilsnach NO v M beslis dat die natuurlike vader van ’n kind wat intestaat gesterf het nie as die “ouer” van die kind gekwalifiseer het vir doeleindes van die Wet op Intestate Erfopvolging 81 van 1987 nie. Die kind se ouma aan moederskant het volgens die hof egter wel gekwalifiseer om as “ouer” en daarom as die kind se intestate erfgenaam erken te word. Die hof het tot hierdie slotsom gekom nadat ’n kinderhof die ouerlike verantwoordelikhede en regte van die natuurlike vader beëindig het en ouerlike verantwoordelikhede en regte aan die kind se ouma toegeken het. Die hof was van mening dat die betekenis van die woord “ouer” in die Wet op Intestate Erfopvolging nie slegs op ’n biologiese band dui nie en dat die natuurlike vader nie voldoen het aan die definisie van wat as ’n ouer beskou behoort te word nie. Faktore wat in hierdie verband ’n rol gespeel het, was dat die vader onder andere nooit vir die kind gesorg, hom onderhou, as sy voog opgetree, hom teen mishandeling beskerm of hom begelei het om sy volle potensiaal te bereik nie. Die erkenning van die vader as ouer en dus as intestate erfgenaam sou volgens die hof teen die beste belange van die kind ingedruis het. Die ouma, wat wél bogenoemde ouerlike funksies vervul het, kon egter wel as ouer erken word en sy kon dus saam met die kind se natuurlike moeder intestaat van haar kleinseun erf. In hierdie bydrae word aan die hand gedoen dat, alhoewel hierdie beslissing moontlik sommige se sin vir billikheid mag bevredig, die hof nie korrek was in die wyse waarop hierdie resultaat bereik is nie. Daar word op enkele fundamentele verskille gewys tussen die hof se hantering van die probleem in die Wilsnach-saak en dié van die howe in hul vroeëre herinterpretasie van die begrip “eggenoot” in die Wet op Intestate Erfopvolging. Ook is die hof se toepassing van die beginsel van die beste belange van die kind en sy invoering van die Kinderwet 38 van 2005 se definisie van “ouer” in hierdie konteks omstrede. Wat die bereiking van ’n billike resultaat betref, word op enkele alternatiewe gewys wat die hof sou kon oorweeg het. Regshervorming rondom hierdie kwessie – in soverre dit wel nodig is – behoort eerder op ’n deurdagte en gestruktureerde wyse te geskied.

Since its Broadway debut, Hamilton: An American Musical has infused itself into the American experience: who shapes it, who owns it, who can rap it best. Lawyers and legal scholars, recognizing the way the musical speaks to some of our most complicated constitutional issues, have embraced Alexander Hamilton as the trendiest historical face in American civics. This book offers a revealing look into the legal community's response to the musical, which continues to resonate in a country still deeply divided about the reach of the law. Intellectual property scholars share their thoughts on Hamilton's inventive use of other sources, while family law scholars explore domestic violence. Critical race experts consider how Hamilton furthers our understanding of law and race, while authorities on the Second Amendment discuss the language of the Constitution's most contested passage. Legal scholars moonlighting as musicians discuss how the musical lifts history and law out of dusty archives and onto the public stage. This collection of minds, inspired by the phenomenon of the musical and the Constitutional Convention of 1787, urges us to heed Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Founding Fathers and to create something new, daring, and different.
