Amendment works of the Korean civil code (Property Law)

Abstract

"The Korean Civil Code is currently in the process of amendment. The government expects to submit a proposal for amending the Civil Code to this year's regular session of the National Assembly. However, considering the extent to which the works for amending the Civil Code being in process by the Civil Code amendment committee have thus far advanced, submission of the proposal for Civil Code amendment within this year’s regular session of the National Assembly can be considered not an easy task. In this lecture it will be attempted to examine the details of the project for amending the Korean Civil Code and to present my personal interim evaluation of the amendment works. Especially this lecture will be limited to the discussion of the amendment of the property law under the Korean Civil Code. Therefore, the property law in this paper means the general part, law of real rights and law of obligations of the Korean Civil Code, which is consisted with 5 parts together with the family law and the law of inheritance."
