Introduction

Civil Law is private in nature, it affects two private individuals and never influence either the State or Revenue of the State or its relationship with the international community.

Codex Justinianus or Corpus Juris Civilis (“Body of Civil Law”), the collections of laws and legal interpretations developed under the sponsorship of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I from ad 529 to 565, consists of four books: (1) Codex Constitutionum, (2) Digesta, or Pandectae, (3) Institutions, and (4) Novellae Constitutiones Post Codicem became the principle beacon lights for modern Civil Laws under Britishers.

The term “civil law” came from the Latin term “jus civile” (used in ancient Rome to distinguish the law found exclusively in the city of Rome from the “jus gentium”, the law of all nations, found throughout the empire)
