Abstract

This paper has tried to give an account of the discipline and application of an institution as complex as Xingshi Hejie, and how this institution is present in two distinct realities: the PRC and Taiwan. The documentation in the English language in this area of law is not very wide,1 although in recent years the interest in the subject has been growing.2 For this reason, it was necessary and useful to carry out a field research on the legal systems that were taken into consideration. In this way, we could get to a satisfactory level of definition with regard to the institution of Xingshi Hejie itself, and with regard to the context in which it is inserted.
