Macau Business Law and Legal System
My book 'Macau Business Law & Legal System' was launched in Hong Kong on 14 June 2007, and in Macau on 8 November 2007. More information is available at the LexisNexis website. To see and print the book flyer please click here.
The book brings together the law of Macau relating to business activities, focusing on civil and commercial law, featuring solid introductions to the conceptual frameworks and concise expositions of the regulation.
The book focuses on the general theory of civil law, the law of obligations in general and contracts in particular, property law, and commercial law. It also includes a general introduction covering fundamental legal concepts, as understood in Macau in the tradition of civil law legal systems, and provides concise references to most branches of law, including Macau's constitutional framework.
This is the first publication providing an extended account of the matters covered in the 1999 Civil and in the 1999 Commercial Code. It also covers the legal transformations and continuities arising from the resumption of sovereignty by China in 1999.
This book fulfils the need for written information about the Macau legal system in English, and is an essential reference for those who do not master any of the official languages of Macau. It is also the first published account, in any language, of issues such as a compreensive overview of the insurance contract and the lodging contract, among others.
