Revocation of earlier legislation

From the time the Civil Code comes into force, all earlier legislation dealing with matters which the said Code covers shall stand revoked, whether this legislation is general or special. The registration of ownership shall continue to be mandatory in the overseas, as it was as per Article 10 of the Code of Property credit, approved by decree dated 17th October, 1865. Civil Law recognizes and specifies such rights and corresponding duties; ensures and protects the enjoyment of rights and the performance of duties; lays down the circumstances in which a citizen may be disabled from exercising rights and the manner in which such disability may be overcome.
