Civil law reform

Law books

The aim of civil law reform is to create a clear, coherent, cost-effective and accessible system of private law rights and responsibilities.

We are responsible for the general law of England and Wales relating to trusts, contracts, succession (inheritance), land ownership (including rights over land, commonhold, leases and tenancies), limitation periods and remedies. We represent the UK in European and international negotiations in relation to private international law on these matters.
