Civil Law encompasses the body of rules governing private rights and obligations, including individuals, their assets, and
their relationships within society. It addresses the legal framework for personal, property, and contractual matters.
Fundamental Principles of Civil Law

• Principle of Personality – ensures that every individual’s existence is legally recognized, conferring corresponding rights and obligations.
• Principle of Autonomy of Will – respects the legal capacity of individuals to perform or refrain from certain acts according to their own will.
• Principle of Social Solidarity – emphasizes the social significance of property and legal transactions, aiming to balance collective needs with individual interests.
• Principle of Individual Property – upholds the idea that individuals may express their personality through movable or immovable property acquired through labor or legal means, forming part of their personal estate.
