Argentina has enacted a new Civil and Commercial Code and has repealed
the Civil Code as well as the Commercial Code (except for a few articles). This publication
is the second edition of Romanach's English translation of the New Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina which went into
effect on August 1, 2015. The new Civil and Commercial Code of
Argentina is, without a doubt, the most significant legislative enactment from South America in a century and a half.
It is also thus far, in all probability, the most significant legislative accomplishment in the civil-law world of the twenty-first
century. The new Code, consisting of 2,671 articles divided into a Preliminary Title and six Books, touches upon nearly
every aspect of private law, from family relations to sophisticated commercial transactions. It covers, for example,
Argentina's contract law, real estate law, the law of torts, successions, and security rights. It also contains what
is essentially a Code of Private International Law that incorporates the latest developments in the area of conflict of laws.
The new Code provides rules governing traditional civil-law contracts such as sale and lease; as well as special provisions
for contracts involving consumers; and commercial contracts -- such as franchising, concessions, and banking contracts just
to name a few. No fewer than thirty special contracts are regulated by the new Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina. This second edition of Romanach's English
translation of the Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina (2025) is a revised and updated work, containing updates reflected
in official sources as of November 25, 2024. During the decade that transpired since the publication of the first edition
of this work, the Argentine Congress and the Executive Power have approved significant amendments to the Argentine Civil and
Commercial Code. Julio Romanach has carefully translated all statutes and decrees affecting the Civil and Commercial
Code, incorporating all changes in the law into this edition. In order to increase the usefulness of this work as a
research tool, all amended articles contain both the original version as approved in 2014 as well as the amended text. The Civil Code of
Chile (2022 Edition) An English translation with an Introduction, Index and Appendix by Julio Romañach,
Jr. isbn-13 (978-1-4004-0063-5 at US$240.00
per copy + US$20.00Shipping & Handling per copy (USA destination) Published 2022, Paperbound 8 1/2 x 11 inches, 419 pages The 2022 Edition is a
revised and updated fourth edition of Romañach’s English translation of the Civil Code
of Chile, which was first published in 2008, with revised and updated second and third editions appearing
in 2014 and 2017, respectively. As in the case of other civil-law jurisdictions, the Civil Code of Chile is the backbone
of Chile’s legal system. It contains rules governing basic areas such as contracts,
property, torts, obligations, sales, leases, family law, security rights, and the law of damages.
The provisions of the Civil Code of Chile also serve as gap fillers in other areas of Chilean private
law, and even in public law. It also serves as an excellent introduction to the Chilean legal
system. The Civil Code of Chile is divided into a preliminary title and four books.
The preliminary title contains fundamental provisions that are applicable throughout the Civil Code.
Book One deals with domicile, family law, and juridical persons. Book Two deals with basic
principles of the law of property, ownership, usufruct, use, habitation, servitudes and possession,
among other topics. Book Three deals with successions by reason of death and donations inter vivos.
Both testamentary succession and intestate succession are addressed as well as rules governing the part of a person’s
estate that is called the “forced portion”, to which certain heirs may be entitled as their “legitime”.
Book Four contains rules on the law of obligations, special contracts, torts, and security rights among other subjects.
This edition includes an introduction on the structure of the code and a subject-matter index citing to Civil Code
article numbers. The 2022 Edition includes all amendements approved by the Chilean Congress as of August 5, 2022,
reflected in official sources. Through the enactment of Law No 21,400 and other statutes the Congress of Chile
has sought to allow and protect marriages of persons of the same sex. This new development required drafting of amendments
to articles throughout the Civil Code, including not only provisions governing marriage, but also laws governing parental
authority, presumption of paternity, matrimonial property, and a host of others. The Civil Code of Ecuador (2022 Edition) An English translation with an

The 2022 Edition of the Civil Code of Ecuador is the second
edition of Romañach’s English translation of this Code; the first edition having been
published in 2017. The 2022 edition includes all amendments approved by the National Assembly of Ecuador as of
September 10, 2022, as reflected in official sources. As in the case of other civil-law jurisdictions, the Civil Code
of Ecuador is the centerpiece of Ecuador’s civil law system. This Code, which dates
from the mid-nineteenth century, has been amended from time to time to meet special needs and to
incorporate legal developments. It deals with the basic institutions of private law such as
property, contracts, family law, sales, leases, obligations, security rights and many others.
The Civil Code of Ecuador is divided into a preliminary title and four books. The preliminary
title is devoted to fundamental principles governing the Ecuadoran legal order. Book One is
devoted fundamentally to family law. Book Two deals with the law of property. It begins
with general rules on the law of things, and then moves on to ownership, including national ownership.
It also deals with the institution of usufruct and other dismemberments of ownership, and includes possession, reivindicatory
actions, and possessory actions, among the other subjects. Book Three concerns successions by reason of
death and donations inter vivos. Both testamentary (including rules on kinds of testaments, their revocation
and revision) and intestate successions are fully addressed as well as succession by universal or particular title.
Book Four of the Civil Code deals fundamentally with the law of obligations, which at civil law includes the law of
contracts as well as torts, and several special contracts, including sale, lease, agency and partnership. Book
Four also provides rules on suretyship, mortgage, and pledge, as well as the ranking and priority of claims. It
concludes with rules on prescription, both acquisitive and liberative. The 2022 Edition includes a special new feature: an Appendix of selected
provisions from the Commercial Code of Ecuador translated into English. The appendix includes the articles of
the general rules of commercial contracting, assignment of contracts, commercial sales, and commercial supply contracts among
others. The Civil Code of the Dominican Republic (2017 Edition) An English translation with an Introduction, Index, and Appendices

Paperbound
8 1/2 x 11 inches, 375 pages The
2017 Edition of the Civil Code of the Dominican Republic is the first
edition of Romañach’s English translation of that Code. The Civil
Code of the Dominican Republic was originally derived from the Code Napoleon and has been in full
force and effect since 1884. This Code, amended on
multiple occasions since its promulgation, remains a plentiful repository
of civil law rules. While some archaic provisions, primarily in the area of family
law, have been expressly repealed or repealed by implication by the enactment
of codes and statutes dealing with the same subject matter, many of the original rules remain
in full force and effect and have withstood the test of time. They retain the clarity of
exposition and substantive relevance that they had when originally enacted.
This is particularly true in the area of property law (Book Two
of the Civil Code), the general principles of contract law (known as the law of obligations
in the civil law), and several fundamental special contracts, such as sale, mandate
(agency) and partnership. The law
of divorce is fundamentally dealt with outside the Civil Code.
The rules currently in force, according to official sources, are set
forth in English translation in an Appendix to Romañach’s
English translation of the Civil Code. Other
areas of family law, such as parental authority, custody, visitation rights, child support, and the law of adoption,
are now dealt with comprehensively outside the Civil Code in a special code enacted for the protection
of fundamental rights in 2003. Selected provisions
of that code are set forth in English translation in a second Appendix
to Romañach’s English translation of the Civil Code.
The
Civil Code of the Dominican Republic remains the centerpiece of the Dominican Republic’s
civil law system. It provides default rules for many private law
transactions and its provisions are applicable by analogy throughout the
Dominican legal order. CIVIL CODE OF VENEZUELA 2nd Edition 2023 (English Translation) An

The 2023 Edition is the second publication of Romañach’s
English translation of the Civil Code of Venezuela. As in the case of other
civil-law jurisdictions, the Civil Code of Venezuela is the backbone of Venezuela's legal system. It contains rules
of substantive law governing basic areas such as contracts, property, torts, obligations, divorce law, sales, leases, security
rights, and the law of damages. The provisions of the Civil Code also serve as gap fillers in other areas of private
law, and even in public law as well. The Civil Code of Venezuela contains nearly two thousand articles
divided into a preliminary title and three books. The preliminary title of the Civil Code,
containing articles 1-14, deals with laws and the general rules for the application of laws.
It contains rules on effectiveness of laws, retroactivity of laws, interpretation of laws, and the authority of laws.
These rules are applicable not only in other areas of the Civil Code, but throughout the the Venezuelan legal order. Book One of the Civil Code of Venezuela containing articles 15-524 deals with the law
of persons and family law. Book Two of the Civil Code of Venezuela, containing articles 525-795,
deals with the law of property. The third and final Book of the Civil Code of Venezuela, comprising articles
796-1995 is, by far, the longest and most important Book of the Code. This book is entitled "Of the Manners of
Acquiring and Transmitting Ownership and Other Rights". It contains rules on areas that are radically different
from each other such as testaments, sales, and security rights. It also contains the law of obligations (Articles 1133-1430)
an area which at civil law comprises subjects as diverse as contracts and torts, as well as the law of damages. The second edition of this work has been updated, fundamentally, by including references
to decisions of the Supreme Court of Venezuela in constitutional cases that interpret Civil Code articles under new guidelines
established by the Constitution of Venezuela. This edition also includes selections from the Constitution of Venezuela
and an extensive Glossary of Venezuelan Civil Law Terms prepared by Julio Romanach, Jr. This work also includes an analysis
of constitutional developments in Venezuelan Civil Law brought about by the jurisprudence of the Venezuelan Supreme Court.
These developments, which have occurred primarily in the area of family law, have led to the constitutionalization of family
law in Venezuela. CIVIL CODE OF COLOMBIA (English Translation) 4th Edition (2022) An English translation

8 1/2 x 11 inches, 398 pages The Civil Code

title. The Preliminary Title contains provisions on fundamental principles of law, applicable throughout
the Civil Code and, as suppletive law, to other Colombian codes, laws, and statutes as well. Book One contains rules

rules of commercial contracting, assignment of contracts, commercial sales, and commercial supply contracts among others. CIVIL CODE OF COSTA

CIVIL CODE OF EL SALVADOR AND FAMILY CODE OF EL
SALVADOR (English Translation) Civil
Code of El Salvador and Family Code of El Salvador (2020) An English translation with an introduction and indicesby Julio Romañach, Jr. isbn-13 (978-1-4004-0051-5) US$240.00

x 11 inches, 361 pages
This publication includes two codes from El Salvador:
the Civil Code and the Family Code. The Civil Code of El Salvador, originally enacted in 1860, has been in full force
and effect since that time. While this code, as amended from time-to-time, has been in full force and effect for 150
years, the family code is a relatively recent publication: it was enacted in 1993 and has been in effect since 1994.
These two codes combined contain the bulk of the civil law of El Salvador. While orginally the family law of El Salvador
was included in the civil code, since 1994, with the enactment of the family code, only a handful of provisions on family
law remain in the civil code. The civil code consists of a preliminary title and four books. The articles of the
preliminary title provide fundamental principles and rules that apply throughout the civil code. Book I deals with
the law of persons. Book II deals with the law of property. This Book provides rules on nearly all aspects of
property law in a systematic fashion. Book III deals with the law of successions by reason of death and donations inter
vivos. It deals with both testate as well as intestate successions. Book IV contains both the law of obligations
as well as special contracts. Special contracts include sale, lease, agency, suretyship, pledge, and mortgage.
The Family Code of El Salvador, is comprised of a preliminary title and five books. |

NEW CIVIL CODE OF BRAZIL (English Translation) Civil Code of Brazil Translated into English with an Introduction, Index, and Glossaries of Selected Brazilian Civil Law and Civil Procedure Terms 5th Edition Published 2022 by Julio Romanach, Jr. ISBN-13 (978-1-4004-0062-7)
US$240.00 per copy + $20.00 s/h Paperbound 8 1/2 x 11 inches 447
pages The fourth edition of
Romanach's English translation of the New Civil Code of Brazil is revised and updated through September 1, 2019, as reflected
in official sources. As in the case of the new Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina, the new Civil Code of Brazil
[Law No. 10,406, in effect since January, 2003] effected a virtual mergerof fundamental provisions of civil and commercial
law into one code. The Brazilian Congress expressly repealed the prior Civil Code [Law. No. 3071 of 1916] and the First
Part of the Commercial Code [Law No. 556 of June, 1850] when enacting the new Civil Code of Brazil in 2002. In
this edition Romanach updated his English translation of the new Civil Code to include all amendments and additions approved
by the Brazilian Congress, as reflected in official sources, through August 10, 2022. It includes very recent amendments
on condominium law; amendments to regulation in cases involving abuse of juridical personality; amendments to rules on interpretation
of contracts; amendments to the rules on revision of contracts and various others. The New Civil Code effects a virtual merger of fundamental provisions of the Brazilian civil and
commercial law into one code. In fact, the New Civil Code contains the greater part of business associations law in
the Brazilian juridical order outside of corporations law which remains in Law No. 6404 of December 15, 1976, as amended.
The New Civil Code contains provisions dealing with commercial companies, including partnerships and limited liability companies,
as well as rules on merger, split, dissolution, and liquidation of companies; in addition, it includes extensive provisions
on the contracts of insurance and carriage. Thus besides providing fundamental provisions in traditional civil law subject
areas such as contracts, obligations, property, tort law, family law, successions, security rights, and damages -- among many
others -- the new Civil Code of Brazil is an essential source for Brazilian commercial law as well. In additon to providing the codal articles in English translation, this
translation begins with an introduction to the Civil Code of Brazil, which provides analytical examination and commentary
in summary form of both civil and commercial law in the Civil Code, explaining the main features of each part of the code. This work also includes a detailed subject-matter index (citing to civil code article numbers)
and glossaries of selected Brazilian Civil Law Terms and Civil Procedure Terms translated from Portuguese into English
-- all prepared by Julio Romanach, Jr.

from leading civilian jurisdictions. This code provides fundamental rules in contracts, obligations, torts, damages,
property, security rights, wills and estates, sales, leases, agency, partnership, family law, and many other areas of private
law. For easy reference, this edition includes an introduction on the structure of the code and a detailed subject-matter

The Civil Code of Uruguay contains more than 2,300 articles, divided
into a Preliminary Title and Four Books as follows: Book One (Of Persons); Book Two (Of Things and Of Their Ownership
or Property); Book Three (Of Manners of Acquiring Property); and Book Four (Of Obligations), Although the Civil Code
of Uruguay was originally enacted over a century and a half ago, the Civil Code has been modernized to include many legislative
innovations not only in family law but throughout the Civil Code. This Civil Code contains many provisions reflecting contemporary legal developments, such as same-sex marraige
and the equality of all persons before the law. This Second Edition of Romanach's 2019 original English translation
updates the Civil Code of Uruguay to October 1, 2023. During the four years since the first edition of this work was
published, the Uruguayan Congress has approved significant changes to the articles of the Civil Code. The amendments
have been concentrated, fundamentally, in three areas of the law: 1. Successions and Donations including forced heirship;
2. The law of Prescription, including acquisitive prescription or adverse possession, and liberative prescription or limitation
periods. In this latter area of the law, the time periods generally have been shortened; and 3. Private International
Law. Civil

8 1/2 x 11 inches 289 pages US$240.00 per copy + $20.00 s/h The Civil Code of Bolivia is a modern and well-drafted code encompassing the bulk of traditional civil
law subjects (such as contracts, property, security rights etc.) -- All except family law and matrimonial regimes law which
are part and parcel of the Family Code. The Civil Code contains approximately 1,570 articles divided into five Books,
as follows: 1) Book One: Of Persons; 2) Book Two: Property Law; 3) Book Three: Of Obligations; 4)
Book Four: Of Successions by Cause of Death; and 5) Book Five: Of the Exercise, Protection, and Extinction of
Rights. As in the case of most civil
codes, the Civil Code of Bolivia is the backbone of Bolivia's civil-law system. The importance and usefulness of the
Civil Code goes well beyond the legal subject areas where it is directly applicable: that is so, because the Code contains
a myriad of general principles that are applicable as default rules, not only in areas of private law but throughout the legal
order. Julio Romanach's English translation of the Civil Code of Bolivia contains legislative updates, reflected in
official sources, as of November 1, 2024.

Paperbound 8 1/2 x 11 inches 370 pages The
importance of the Civil Code of Spain can hardly be overemphasized. It contains the fundamental framework of the private
substantive law of Spain. For example, the Civil Code provides basic principles of contracts, torts, damages, family
law, property, descent and distribution, and various special contracts such as sale. In addition, the Civil Code provides
rules on private international law and gap fillers applicable throughout the entire legal order. Thus, it is perilous
to attempt to spot issues and evaluate problems involving any aspect of Spanish law without access to the Civil Code. For
easy reference, this edition includes an introduction and a detailed subject-matter index of both civil and common law terms
citing to Civil Code article numbers. This fourth edition of Romanach's 1994 English translation of the Civil Code of Spain has
been revised and updated to include all amendments and additions approved by the Spanish Parliament, as reflected in official
sources, through June 4, 2024. This 4th edition includes amendments to all books of the Civil Code. One noteworthy amendment
included in this edition of the Civil Code is the novel approach to animal rights, which has been made a part of the Civil
Code. Under this new approach, "companion animals" are protected by the law, in their own right and not as
property items. This new approach is now prevalent throughout the Civil Code.

organization utilized by the more recently enacted civil codes of Latin America, particularly Argentina and Brazil.
This new code is a thoroughly modern civil code not just in legislative technique of organization but also in its substantive
provisions. It fully revises the provisions of the Puerto Rican Civil Code of 1930, previously in force (as revised)
and reinforces and expands the overriding principle of good faith as a guiding beacon of imperative law.

This publication contains, in English translation, the Family Code of
Nicaragua and the following public laws of Nicaragua: the Labor Code; the Code of Labor and Social Security Procedure;
and the Code of Private International Law. The first of these codes contains the bulk of Nicaraguan family law. In addition
to domestic relations subjects, such as marriage, divorce, filiation, custody and support, tutorships and adoption, the Family
Code also contains a regulatory framework for the stable joint living union. The code regulates the Nicaraguan law of
homestead and contains rules on civil procedure involving family law actions. It is interesting to note that provisions
dealing with family violence appear as a main subject area in Book One of the Family Code. This underscores the resolve
of the Nicaraguan lawmaker in attempting to diminish its occurrence in Nicaraguan family life.
