The Evolution of Romanian Civil Law in the Modern Times

Summary/Abstract: The new state established by Alexandru Ioan Cuza’s double election, had to have modern legislation, structure and principles. The 1864 reforming laws also contained what s known as “the legislative work of Alexandru Ioan Cuza” or corpus iuris civilis, namely: the Civil Code, the Criminal Code, the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Criminal Procedure. This paper aims at a brief analysis of the Civil Code. Designed between 1862 and 1864, it entered into force on 1 December 1865 as the Romanian Civil Code. It has often been criticized, but it still remains the longest normative act in the evolution of the Romanian civil legislation.
