Study Notes

Contemporary Legal Knowledge and Practice

This video lecture introduces civil law traditions and their differences from common law.
Aims to sensitize students from common law traditions to civil law thinking.
Examines civil law through three areas: contract law (session two), tort law (session three), and civil litigation (session four).
Session one focuses on the civil law tradition, specifically in Indonesia and Thailand.
Civil law is not static; it evolves in different jurisdictions while maintaining core principles.
Indonesia's legal system is derived from Dutch and French/Napoleonic codes.
Thailand's legal system combines French and German civil law traditions.
Civil law systems are codified, meaning legal codes define all aspects of law.
Civil law relies on codes, while common law relies on precedents (case law).

Civil Law Systems

Civil legal systems are based on codified laws.
Codes provide comprehensive legal frameworks for issues in the courts.
Source of law in civil law systems is the codified code rather than case law.
Case law may carry less weight than codified sections when applying the law.

Civil Code of Indonesia

The Indonesian Civil Code, while based on Dutch law, serves as the fundamental framework for contractual relations and legal principles.
It is based on a 19th-century Dutch version.
The code is organized into four books: persons, property, contracts, and statutory limitations.

Civil and Commercial Code of Thailand

Thailand's legal system includes elements of civil law and common law.
The main legal foundation is the 2017 Constitution.
The Civil and Commercial Code is its main statute for private law issues.
The code structures laws into six books covering national legal persons, property, obligations, contracts, family, and inheritance.

Supplementary Laws

Civil law jurisdictions often have supplementary laws, e.g., implementing regulations clarifying the codes.
These can be issued by government bodies to add detail and clarify the codes.
Laws are regularly updated and clarified via these implementing regulations.

Toll Road Law

Indonesia's toll road law has been recently updated.
Modifications concern tariffs and investment viability issues.
This is an example of how laws are often updated over time, and government agencies provide supplementary regulations.

Implementation and Language

Implementing regulations may be issued to clarify the law and codified regulations.
Understanding the implementation process is important.
