Kram on Implementation of New Civil Code 2011 (KH)
On 22 December 2011, the new Cambodian Civil Code went into effect. Its promulgation marked a turning point in the establishment of the rule of law in Cambodia.
The new Civil Code provides a classic civil-law framework for the major forms of private law: the laws of persons, property and obligations. Contracts for sale, lease, employment, unjust enrichment and torts are singled out for special treatment, as are secured transactions. The laws of marriage and family, and of succession, are dealt with in detail.
