    The author believes that it is impossible for us to enact a scientific and progressive civil code if we only consider or discuss certain issue, such as concerning the basic idea, philosophical basis ethics basis, and the general mode of civil code, of enacting a civil code. Most importantly, we need to implement empirical research, study the latest legislation experiences of developed countries, and summarize the judicial experience of the last twenty years in China.

    Prof. Christian Von Bar believes that there are two core elements of tort liability law: first, being the institutional function of compensation; and second, its application does not require that there is a relation between victims and infringers. As one part of law, the tort liability law shall determine whether someone can receive compensation if he damaged by another person. See Christian Von Bar (2001). According to this explanation, it is clear that tort liability law focuses on two core issues, which are damage and compensation. With respect to infringement act, its status is under damage. In addition, with respect to quasi-torts, we cannot find infringement act sometimes.
