Civil law as private law

Since the time of Roman law, civil law has been the set of rules that constitute private law, understood as that which regulates relations between people. It was opposed, therefore, to public law, which regulates the relationships of people with the powers of the state and of public powers with each other.

Currently, on the one hand, the public law contained in the Justinian compilation fell into progressive disuse (due to the evolution of political organizations), applying only the private law of such compendium, so that what had been called civil law was reduced in practice to private law; On the other hand, with the advent of national rights, names such as French civil law, Italian law, etc., emerged to refer to the respective private rights. Hence the confluence of the name civil law to refer exclusively to private law.

For this reason, currently civil law is the call to judge all acts or facts of private social and private life.

Civil law as common law

The rules of civil law apply to all matters of private law that do not have special regulation of a legal nature. The evolution of law, and its specialization, gave birth to specific branches of private law such as commercial law or labor law. These branches have in common the fact that they maintain civil law as a supplementary law, which is thus established as common law.

From the territorial perspective (of application in the territory), civil law may not be a single one for the entire national territory, but rather several civil systems may coexist. Of them, one called common, national or federal, is applicable directly in some cases and supplementarily in others to the entire country; and other so-called provincial, autonomous or regional ones are only for certain states, regions or territories.

Civil law as general law

From the subjective perspective (applicable to the person), civil law encompasses rules that regulate private legal relationships applicable to all individuals, regardless of factors such as nationality, profession, religion, etc. It applies to everyone who is in the same legal situation.
