Whether the Cvil Code should contain an independent part on the right of personality has been a much-debated issue in the drafting of the Code. In fact, an independent part on the system of the right of personality is necessary for the enrichment and perfection of the civil code system, compatibly with the intrinsic logic of the structure of the civil code, as well as a summarization of the valuable experience in civil legislation in China. Moreover, it is also demanded by the development of the right of personality itself. The system of the right of personality can not be covered by the system of subjects. Nor can it be substituted by the tort law. An independent part on the right of personality not only reflects the trend of development of the right of personality and of the modern civil law, but is also compatible with the scientific and
systematic nature of the civil law.Therefore, the Chinese Cvil Code should contain an independent part on the right of personality. |
