Comparative Public Law Speaker Series Seminar on “Breaching the Taboo: the Constitutional Dimensions of the New Chinese Civil Code”

The first Comparative Public Law Speaker Series seminar of 2022 concluded last Friday evening with Professor Alec Stone Sweet (HKU Law) presenting his paper “Breaching the Taboo: the Constitutional Dimensions of the New Chinese Civil Code”.

Moderated by Professor Kevin Tan (NUS Law), Professor Stone Sweet’s presentation was followed by a robust discussion in reference to the new Chinese Civil Code that came into effect on January 1 2021, and how the paper explores the relationship between the Code and Constitution. The event was held in a hybrid format via Zoom and at NUS (Bukit Timah) and drew participants from across the region.

This seminar was organised under the Comparative Public Law Speaker Series, by the Centre for Asian Legal Studies (CALS), Faculty of Law, National University of Singapore.
