Basic Japanese Laws

The book brings together a translation of the most important Japanese legal codes in the field of commercial law. It includes the Civil Code, which is the core of private law, and the Commercial Code, which covers all aspects of company law. The translation of the Commercial Code is the latest version incorporating the 1995 amendments. Anti-monopoly law, or competition law, is also covered in this volume.

This is an invaluable work of reference, for academics and students of comparative law, as well as for practitioners and businessmen.

• This is the first time that accurate translations of the codes have been published together in one book. It is, therefore, the first time any graduate student, scholar or practitioner moving into areas of Japanese law has had such easy access to this material
