Q

Current codification project- Eric clive

A

the benefits of codification would greatly improve the style and elegance of staute law in that area
should it be heavy- BGB or light- france
lack of flexibility avoided by specially designed provisions- draft criminal code has provision enabling 3 or mmore judges in HCJ to recognise and decalare a new defence
advantage of phasing- provisde consistent terminology- acts priorities accoring to imprtance- tricky left till later
Would codification change legal culture? tke famly law act- alot of it is alreday statutory, maybe contract- this area prides iteslf in having clear defined rules for parties- yet codification and turnign cases into statutory provision would be dificult but would provide solid statutory provisions- maybe law of UE would mean getting rid of conditiones?
a well drafted code shouldnt have gaps
the nature of law has changed i.e Afults with incapacity act 1995- mixture public and private- civil code need not be just cnfined to private matters although still predominantly.
CSA couldnt be coded due to lack of competency of the scottish governement
some could be left to schedules/subordinate leg
have been talks of creating a SOG code for major sales
draft criminal code and substantive civl code already been drafted- draft stimulates thought on law and how best to organise and set out scots law- cannot rule sout possibilitys.
