This volume provides a complete and authoritative English translation of Parts I, II, and III of the Russian Civil Code, which entered into force in complete form in March 2002. The Civil Code is the central document of market reforms in Russia, dealing with the law of persons (including companies), ownership, contract in all forms, tort, unjust enrichment, inheritance, and private international law. It has been translated from the Russian by Professor Butler, an acknowledged expert in the field, and benefits from a detailed article-by-article table of contents, a thorough subject-index to the Code, and a Russian-English glossary of civil law terms.

An essential tool for any practitioner or student of Russian Law, Civil Code of the Russian Federation will be published alongside a collection of translated Russian Company and Commercial Legislation (0199261520) and the second edition of Professor Butler's acclaimed text on Russian Law (0199254001).
