Full Description

The official State Press edition of the Commercial Code of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, 1945, in the series Les Codes Haïtiens.

The volume carries the law of 27 March 1826 as revised by the decree-law of 22 December 1944, and prints the exposé de motifs accompanying that decree-law, which states the general grounds that made revision of the commercial code necessary. That preface is the reason to prefer this edition over the 1827 printing for questions about the modern commercial regime.

The code governs commerce in general, maritime commerce, bankruptcy and insolvency, and commercial jurisdiction. The Imprimerie de l'État printed it. The article text carries no annotation by a third party.
