Civil Law in Maritime Law
Note: There is more information on maritime/admiralty law here.
The following is a definition of Civil Law, produced by Tetley, in the context of admiralty law: Civil law may be defined as that legal tradition which has its origin in Roman law, as codified in theCorpus Juris Civilis of Justinian (528 to 534 A.D.), and as subsequently developed in Continental Europe and around the world. Civil law eventually divided into two streams: the codified Roman law (as seen in the French Civil Code of 1804 and its progeny and imitators – Continental Europe, Québec, and Louisiana being examples) – and uncodified Roman law (as seen in the Scots law of Scotland and the Roman-Dutch law of South Africa). Civil law is highly systematised and structured and relies on declarations of broad, general principles, often ignoring the details. Professor René David has said that the civil law “… consists essentially of a ‘style’: it is a particular mode of conception, expression and application of the law, and transcends legislative policies that change with the times in the various periods of the history of a people.” See Tetley, Mixed Jurisdictions: common law vs. civil law (codified and uncodified) (Part I) (1999-4) Uniform Law Review 591-619 at p. 596; Tetley, Int’l. M. & A. L., 2003 at p. 8. See also common law (see this maritime law term in this legal dictionary).
