A commission of jurists created in September last year by the president of the federal Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), will present the text of the project for the new Civil Code on the 26th. The intention is to update this set of rules, in force since 2002.
The specialized group met six times in total. Representatives of civil society and the law participated in each meeting. The outcome of the discussions was transformed into a report of more than 1,800 pages at the end of last year.
The professor of civil law at the Faculty of Law of the PUC of São Paulo and rapporteur of the commission of jurists, Rosa Maria de Andrade Neri, stated that the report is permeated with multiple innovations. You explain that at this moment the commission is undermining the riches of the text.
“We have a different task before us, which is to amalgamate all these new ideas coming from academic and professional experience, but also from the vicissitudes of Brazilian economic life and the delicacies of life.”
For the president of the Federal Senate, Senator Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), the update of the Brazilian Civil Code aims to fill the gaps caused by the new social relations of the digital age. The challenge, according to him, is to modernize the law and at the same time ensure legal security.
“We are always faced with the challenge of reconciling the need to update and modernize a statute, a law or a code with the need to preserve legal security, because in reality legal security is imposed on Brazil and it is mandatory to have it not only in judiciary, but also in the legislature,” he said.
The civil code is a set of rules that regulate private law. In other words, this legislation regulates the rights and duties of people, including their property and relationships, such as birth, marriage, contracts, obligations and inheritance.
