Codification is the process of collecting and restating the law of a jurisdiction into a
legal code. This process has often involved international dimensions and, as such, has
long drawn the attention of comparative jurists. A historic example is the East Asian
reception of Western laws, in particular the German Civil Code, in the 19th century.
More recently, globalization has increased the relevance of this topic. Examples
include the proposed Common European Sales Law and the codification efforts
in the legal transition of former Soviet States. Consequently, comparative jurists
are now challenged to apply the study of codification on an unprecedented scale.
This published work, with its combination of comprehensiveness and depth, is a
meaningful contribution to this endeavor.
As a matter of background, this work grew out of the IACL Thematic Confer-
ence on the subject of codification held at the National Taiwan University in May
2012. Scholars worldwide, including scholars from the common law and civil law
systems, gathered in Taiwan to explore this important topic. Considering the theme
of “codification” and its subtheme on East Asia, Taiwan offers a befitting setting for
this historic event, for Taiwanese law represents a rare amalgamation of Continental
civil law, common law, Confucianism and multicultural legacy.
This work is divided into two volumes. The first volume first provides an overview
and explores codification from various theoretical perspectives and their attendant
profound implications. It then addresses soft codification efforts, such as the Unidroit
Principles of Commercial Contracts and the supranational codification of private law
in Europe and its significance for third states.
Codification reform occurs as the ideology and rationales of the law evolve. A
dramatic example is the codification of private law in former Soviet states in post-
Soviet times, to which this volume next turns. In addition, different fields of law lend
themselves differently to codification. This volume then focuses on different fields of
law, including administrative procedure, criminal law and human rights law. These
field-based studies are heavily informed by national perspectives and experiences, as
codification differs in methods and results from across countries and must consider
country-specific characteristics.
The second volume is devoted to East Asian Law. It first puts the codification
in East Asia in context by exploring the defining characteristics of the East Asian
v
vi Introduction to the Codification Books (two volumes)
legal family and by examining the codification and legal transplant of Western laws
from an international perspective. It then discusses the codification experience from
four fields of law, namely commercial law, administrative law, civil law and private
international law by drawing upon national perspectives. The rich discourse and
experience in East Asia serve to enrich the study of codification.
On behalf of the Taiwan Committee of the Academy, I would like to thank Pres-
ident Professor George Bermann and Secretary-General Professor Jürgen Basedow
for their invaluable support and guidance along the way. I also appreciate the un-
wavering support of my colleagues at National Taiwan University College of Law.
Lastly, I would like to thank our editors at the Springer, particularly Dr. Neil Olivier,
for their professional editorial efforts.

Preface
Jurists around the world know that the value of the law lies not only in its content, but
also in its form. And no aspect of legal formalism has interested comparatists as much
as the extent of legislative codification or non-codification across legal systems. It
is well known that civil law systems have a tendency to favor the codification of
law—or at least the codification of certain bodies of law—whereas codification, as
it is typically understood, has not found special favor in the common law.
But the questions surrounding codification are far more complex than any simple
dichotomy between civil law and common law systems can possibly capture. This is
due in part to the complexity of codification itself. Thus, codification can itself take
different forms and is, in any event, a matter of degree, since in no system is the law
fully codified. Conversely, no modern system—no matter how unreceptive it may be
to codification as a legislative method—is without codification altogether.
Even in a legal system that has long enjoyed codification, codification reform
occurs, and not only because the content of the law has evolved. Codification cannot
be, or should not be, static, so that even largely codified systems need to address the
challenge of maintaining over time the coherence and systematization that codifi-
cation promises, even as the law itself evolves. Thus any study of codification also
entails processes of de-codification and recodification as well. We also know that,
even limiting ourselves to largely codified systems, codification differs importantly
in methods and results from country to country. Not least, different fields of law lend
themselves differently to codification. This last observation caused the architects of
this publication to build it very largely around fields of law, so that the distinctive
experiences in codification across fields could be well understood and appreciated.
In short, the degree and manner of legal codification is not only an important
aspect of law, but an exceedingly complex one. As a subject, it accordingly warrants
an examination that is both in depth and wide-ranging. Up to now, no such enterprise
had ever been undertaken.
The present two-volume work fills that gap. It grew out of a large international
conference on the subject of codification held at the National Taiwan University
in May 2012. The occasion was the second quadrennial thematic congress of the
International Academy of Comparative Law. Historically, the Academy has held
world congresses embracing a very wide range of topics—as many as thirty in any
vii

given congress. Several years ago, the Academy became highly conscious of the
fact that there are limits in focus and depth to congresses of that magnitude. While
those congresses have the important merit of attracting and assembling comparatists
across a very wide range of interest, and will therefore continue to be held every
four years (the next in Vienna in 2014), the Academy leadership thought it time to
introduce an additional species of congress that would bear on a single theme, albeit
a broadly conceived one. The first such thematic congress of the Academy was held
in Mexico City in 2008 on the theme of unification of law. Codification turned out
to be a similarly compelling subject for the next thematic congress to follow, which
would be in Taiwan.
This publication itself is testimony to the importance and complexity of the sub-
ject of codification. Wisely, this volume is not entirely organized by jurisdiction. It
begins with a general theoretical and historical view of codification, followed by a
series of other “horizontal” inquiries. But a large portion of the work is organized
around fields, and indeed an impressive range of them: from administrative proce-
dure to sales law, from criminal law to commercial law, from human rights to private
law generally. On the other hand, these field-based inquiries build upon specific na-
tional legal experiences, as evidenced by the large number of national reports out of
which the synthetic general reports on each of the fields covered have grown. Only
a methodology of that sort can achieve the combination of specificity and breadth of
vision that the present work exemplifies.
It also seemed highly appropriate for the congress and the publication resulting
from it to focus on Asia—not only because of the location of this congress in Taiwan,
but also because codification is a subject of intense current interest in that part of the
world. That perspective defined an important segment of the Taiwan congress and
defines an important segment of the present publication, namely the second volume
in this two-volume work. While focusing on Asia, this volume too is organized both
around field and around country.
This study of codification, as well as de-codification and recodification, is
therefore unprecedented in its richness—a richness that derives from its skillful com-
bination of detail and breadth. The comparative law academy generally is indebted
to all who contributed to this study and, above all, to Professor Wen Yeu Wang of
National Taiwan University, who served as its principal inspiration and architect.
