Civil code refers to the code which is used to regulate the judicial relationship between equal subjects in the countries adopting written law. The civil code regulates all kinds of legal acts and identity acts in the form of articles and abstract rules. Some civil codes will adopt customary law as a supplementary norm. In addition, most of them stipulate that judicial autonomy among the parties can make up for the deficiencies of various laws and regulations
On May 28, 2020, the civil code of the people's Republic of China was adopted by the third session of the 13th National People's Congress. The law will come into force on January 1, 2021
extended information:
the draft of civil code of China (suggested draft) was drafted by the research group of civil code legislation of Chinese Academy of social sciences. The research group is composed of the Law Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Law School of the Central University of Finance and economics, the Law School of Peking University, the Law School of Tsinghua University, the Law School of Renmin University of China, the Law School of Yantai University, the Law School of Fudan University, the Law School of Shandong University, the Law School of Beijing University of chemical technology, the Law School of the University of foreign economic relations and trade, the Law School of Shenzhen University, the China Construction Bank Group Legal Department and other units of 26 people
Liang Huixing, member of the academic department, served as the leader of the research group. The draft is compiled in the style of pandektun of Germany, which is divided into seven parts: general provisions, property rights, general provisions for creditor's rights, contract, tort, relatives and inheritance, with a total of 1947 articles
while the general principles of civil law is only some general provisions on the application of civil law. The system established in the general principles of civil law is generally applicable in civil law practice, but when it comes to adjusting each specific civil legal relationship, it needs to be competent according to the laws of other departments of civil law. Therefore, although the general principles of civil law of our country has provisions on property rights, intellectual property rights and tort liability, it is still necessary to formulate civil laws such as property law, intellectual property law and tort law
at present, there is no complete civil code in China. The civil law adopts the general principles of civil law as the general provisions and the civil law as the specific provisions, which is consistent with the objective reality of China's social and economic foundation and the late start of civil legislation.
1. The system of mortgage (pledge)
Article 186 of the property law
before the expiration of the debt performance period, the mortgagee should pay more attention to the mortgage (pledge)
2, It is not allowed to agree with the mortgagor that the mortgaged property shall be owned by the creditor when the debtor fails to perform the e debt< Article 214 if the pledgee uses or disposes of the pledged property without the consent of the pledgor ring the ration of the pledge, thereby causing damage to the pledgor, he shall be liable for compensation< Article 401 in the draft of civil code, if the mortgagee agrees with the mortgagor that the mortgaged property shall be owned by the creditor when the debtor fails to perform the e debt before the maturity of the debt, it can only be paid in priority according to law< However, the draft of the civil code does not directly deny the validity of the act. Instead, it makes it clear that the mortgagee and the mortgagor agree that the mortgaged property shall be owned by the creditor when the debtor fails to fulfill the e debt before the maturity of the debt, Only in accordance with the law can the mortgaged property be paid in priority, that is, the mortgagee can realize the mortgage on the mortgaged property
we know that the judgment of invalidity is the strongest negation in civil law. It is blindly invalid and can not deal with civil issues well, and may damage the real intention of the parties. However, it is stipulated that the mortgagee's priority of compensation for the mortgaged property will not damage the interests of the mortgagee on the one hand, but also promote the circulation of funds and truly play the function of mortgage on the other hand, It is a progress of legislation
here, I need to explain why the property law stipulates that the mortgagee shall not agree with the mortgagor that the mortgaged property shall be owned by the creditor when the debtor fails to fulfill the e debt before the maturity of the debt
because at this time, the mortgagor is at a disadvantage. If the value of the mortgaged property is greater than the amount of the creditor's right that should be realized, when the debtor fails to pay off the debt when it is e, the mortgagee will get excess benefits, which is obviously immoral and can not be accepted by the principle of good faith
what should be noted here is that when the debt is e, the debtor can not pay off the debt, and the parties can agree to set the value of the collateral to pay off the debt. This is a way to realize the mortgage right, not the stipulation of mortgage (pledge). Students need to pay attention to it< Article 191 of the property law of the people's Republic of China ring the mortgage period, if the mortgagor transfers the mortgaged property with the consent of the mortgagee, he shall pay off the debts or deposit the proceeds of the transfer to the mortgagee in advance. If the transfer price exceeds the amount of the creditor's right, it shall be owned by the mortgagor, and the insufficient part shall be paid off by the debtor
ring the mortgage period, the mortgagor shall not transfer the mortgaged property without the consent of the mortgagee, except that the transferee shall pay off the debt on behalf of the mortgagee and extinguish the mortgage< Article 406 ring the mortgage period, the mortgagor may transfer the mortgaged property. If the parties agree otherwise, such agreement shall prevail. Where the mortgaged property is transferred, the mortgage right shall not be affected
if the mortgagor transfers the mortgaged property, it shall notify the mortgagee in time. If the mortgagee can prove that the transfer of the mortgaged property may damage the mortgage, he may request the mortgagor to pay off the debts or deposit the proceeds of the transfer to the mortgagee in advance. If the transfer price exceeds the amount of the creditor's right, it shall be owned by the mortgagor, and the insufficient part shall be paid off by the debtor<
3 Analysis
the mortgage transfer is a long-standing problem in the property law. Once, the teacher summarized to the students as follows:
(1) the mortgage only refers to the change of the ownership of the mortgage, such as selling, donating, exchanging, investing, and paying off debts. The mortgage, pledge, and lease of the mortgage are not limited
(2) if the mortgagee agrees that it can be transferred, the mortgagor shall pay off or deposit the transfer proceeds to the mortgagee in advance
(3) without the consent of the mortgagee, if the transferee exercises the right of removal, the third party who has an interest will pay off the debt on behalf of the mortgagee, which can be transferred
(4) without the consent of the mortgagee, the sales contract of transferring the mortgaged property is valid
in this mode, if the mortgaged property can be transferred without the consent of the mortgagee and the assignee's right of removal, it depends on whether the assignee is in good faith in the case of movable property, and it cannot be transferred in the case of real property
nowadays, according to the draft of the civil code, it is clear in principle that the mortgagor has the right to transfer the mortgaged property ring the mortgage period, no matter whether it is approved by the mortgagee or not, only if the mortgagee can prove that the transfer of the mortgaged property may damage the mortgage, The mortgagor may request the mortgagor to pay off the debts or deposit the proceeds of the transfer to the mortgagee in advance. Moreover, if the mortgaged property is transferred, the mortgage right shall not be affected
as a matter of fact, for the mortgagee, no matter who owns the mortgaged property, as long as the mortgage exists The draft of the civil code (Draft) is more concive to the mortgage logistics, give play to the guarantee function of the collateral, and promote the financing. This change conforms to the trend of the times
in short, the promulgation of the civil code has a far-reaching impact on the examination of civil law!
