Abstract
This chapter demonstrates how it was evident to ʿAbd Al-Razzāq Sanhūrī that concrete social changes and outcomes aided by New Civil Code would be secured primarily through property law, just as existing social order in Egypt was founded on land and property laws. In New Code, Sanhūrī did not oppose individual right in property law, but added that the right to property is both individual and a social function, thus transferring weight of property right from individual to collective sphere. The New Code imposed a series of restrictions on right of property, which thus became relative to other surrounding rights, or to any other interest as decided by society. True to approach of sociological law, Sanhūrī viewed laws of cooperation in property as a key social value that could radiate mutual dependence throughout Egyptian society.Keywords: ʿAbd Al-Razzāq Sanhūrī; Egypt; New Civil Code; property law; social function
