The Uniform Law Models and Their Influence in EU and Chinese Law
Uniform law models are essential in essential in ensuring uniformity of laws across states. America employs the use of uniform law models across its states under the uniform law commission. There are more than one hundred uniform laws in the United States, and they vary depending on their purpose. These laws could be grouped as commerce laws, property laws act, criminal laws, trusts, and estates act. Moreover, establishing uniform laws was intended to eliminate conflicts that existed between federal laws and state laws. Among the uniform law models, the most sensitive models are the commercial laws that have been enacted by several states. For instance, a uniform commercial code is beneficial since it performs oversight of transactions and implements these transactions' security. The uniform security act is an essential model since it provides a framework for developing securities legislation by states. These legislations assist in minimizing fraud in sales of securities to investors across the states. The uniform law models of America have greatly influenced the Chinese evolution of contract law. The Republic of China developed an urgent need to modernize their contract laws to facilitate its economic transition. China incorporated western-type contract laws such as the FECL, CISG, and CCL. European civil laws influence most recent Chinese laws since this evolution.
