UNIFICAREA LEGISLAȚIEI CIVILE ÎN PRIMUL DECENIU AL ROMÂNIEI MARI

Abstract

After the achievement of the 1918 Great Union, the Romanians were called to support the country’s economic recovery and to follow a path for the consolidation of the state, for reform and unification. A problem that our country was concerned with immediately after the achievement of political unity, was that of legislative unification. In the field of public law, the 1923 Constitution, the Judicial Organization Law of 25 June 1924, the Administrative Unification Law of 13 June 1925, and numerous other laws succeeded in gradually achieving the legislative unification indispensable to a powerful state. In the field of private law, the problem remained open for a long time, even if there were concerns, attempts and meritorious results in this direction. The provisional preservation in force of local legislation in the annexed provinces, justified in a first stage, led to numerous problems over time and inevitably affected the confidence in the judiciary and the prestige of the law. The unification of the civil legislation of Bessarabia, achieved by expanding the Civil Code of Alexandru Ioan Cuza in 1928, was and remains remarkable.
