A Legislative Proposal of Overall Amendment of the Japanese Civil Code

目前，司法部正在努力修改日本民法典。但从《民法典》第三编开始修改。因此，修改后的日本民法典将失去条文编号的限制。此外，日本法务省试图修改日本民法典，以仿效西方，忽视了日本社会的需要。因此，研究小组根据日本人民的各种声音，公布了《日本民法典修正案：第一至第三卷》。我们的建议与律政司的建议大不相同。

Presently, the Department of Justice tries to amend Japanese CivilCode. However, it has started amendment from the book IIIof the Civil Code. As a result,the amended Civil Code of Japan will lose strait numbering of provisions. In addition, theDepartment of Justice tries to amend Japanese Civil Code in order to follow amendmentsin the West, neglecting social needs of Japan. Thus, the study group has made public aProposal Amendment of Civil Code of Japan: BookI-III based on various voices ofpeople of Japan. Our proposal is quite different from that of the Department ofJustice.
