Synopsis

This two-volume set is a collection of articles that elucidate the theory, practice, legal innovations, and codification experience of the Law of Personality Rights in China.
The Law of Personality Rights was enacted in China in May 2020, the first time that a Law has been legislated as an independent part of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China and an unprecedented step in protecting the personality rights of citizens. The first volume examines the legal and theoretical basis for the Law as a standalone part of the Civil Code as well as practical issues including institutional arrangements, the relationship between human rights and personality rights and the relationship with laws on tort liability, as well as those pertaining to marriage and the family. The second volume explains the design and innovations of the Law and proposes suggestions to refine it through evaluation of the attributes of personality rights and the draft laws.
The set will be an essential reference for scholars and students studying civil law, continental law, Chinese law, and the legal protection of personality rights.
