Notes

  1. 1.

    The Writer uses the “general rules of obligation law” to refer to the essential general provisions of obligation law, so as to avoid the conclusion advancement. Meanwhile, this term is also different from “General Provisions” Chapter of “General Provisions of Obligation Law” Volume in the “Civil Code” draft submitted by the scholar.

    Based on this conception, finally, as the General Principles of Civil Law includes the “general provisions of civil law” and “general provisions of obligation law” and other contents in the traditional continental legal system sense, it may be more suitable when it is continuously called the “general principles of civil law”. However, whether it is re-named the “general provisions of civil law” finally is subject to the attitude of the legislative body, but this is not the core of the issue.

    The causal relationship is often mistaken for the requisite of tort liability. However, the Writer thinks that the causal relationship should be stipulated in the general provisions part of “Obligation and Liability” Chapter as the general requisite of obligation and liability.
