Abstract
Abstract: The Spanish Constitution grants Catalonia, one of the Spanish so-called Autonomous Communities, power to legislate on private law. The power is not unlimited, being the “bases of contractual obligations” one of the main restrictions. Nowadays, the Catalan Department of Justice fosters the enactment of a Civil Code for Catalonia. Until now, the Family Code and the Succession Code, a range of statutes and the First Act of the Catalan Civil Code have been passed. This paper analyses the Catalan codification process within the framework of the European harmonisation of private law. The author stresses the necessity of taking into account the developments of the new ius commune europaneum and points out the possible Catalan contribution to the process of harmonisation.
