Civil Law
Civil law in Jordan, codified under the Civil Code, governs private rights and obligations in personal, commercial, and property dealings.
What is Civil Law
Civil law in Jordan, codified under the Civil Code No. 43 of 1976, forms the backbone of private legal relations. It governs obligations and rights arising between individuals and entities in their personal and commercial dealings. The Code outlines general principles of liability, compensation, contractual freedom and limits, property ownership, and succession.
It is the law that touches everyone’s life from signing a lease or a purchase agreement, to claiming compensation for harm, or securing inheritance rights.
