The branches of Private Law

Civil Law of Importance

A. The branches of Private Law

Each branch of private law that separates, gives birth to a new branch. Trade Law leaves the Civil Law but broke out in company law, banking law, corporate law and difficulties right shops.

Through this phenomenon appeared new branches by specialization of education, the proliferation of codes (insurance law, construction law, computer law).

Some authors speak of an artificial specialization. Do not believe that a branch of private law is justified by the mere fact of an application of common law for purpose. So for insurance law, the idea that we apply the common law of insurance contracts. The insurance contract seen as a particular branch of law with the insurance law is conceivable only if the law in question is autonomous (it follows from the principle and distinct concept of common law).

In this way we can recognize several branches:

    The criminal law is to ensure the punishment of offenses. It appears to be the sanctionateur right of all rights. It holds a special place. civil procedure called private judicial law is nothing other than the litigation aspect of private law.

    Private international law regulates private individuals when the report contains a foreign element. This law is very specific, it combines the conflict rules that determine the applicable rule and the substantive rules that give a solution when the substantive law. This right is important in a world where the economy is globalized.

    Commercial law relates to traders, their business and commercial acts performed by any person. This right may claim an old self (the mercatorium juice). Its origin is medieval.

    Labour law applies to individual and collective labor relations between employer and employee. Its autonomy is the most recent. At the time this law was not built on principles and concepts, the civil law (common law private law) which applied in terms of nullity of contracts or termination with its consequences .
