Description
This is a translation of the Russian Civil Code, which is a set of laws that govern civil matters in Russia. The Civil Code is important because it is one of the main pieces of legislation that helped to reform the Russian economy after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Civil Code is also important because it deals with a variety of civil matters, such as contract, tort, inheritance, and private international law.
This volume provides a complete and authoritative English translation of Parts I, II, and III of the Russian Civil Code, which entered into force in complete form in March 2002. The Civil Code is the central document of market reforms in Russia, dealing with the law of persons (including companies), ownership, contract in all forms, tort, unjust enrichment, inheritance, and private international law. It has been translated from the Russian by Professor Butler, an acknowledged expert in the field, and benefits from a detailed article-by-article table of contents, a thorough subject-index to the Code, and a Russian-English glossary of civil law terms.
