The Chinese Supreme Court Decisions. (Frist instalment translation to General Principles of Civil law and to Commercial law.) With Prefaces by Yao
Tseng, President of the Supreme Court and The Translator. Translated by F. T. Cheng (Lond.). Published by The Supreme Court (Peking 1920). Approximately
95 p., variously paginated. Contents include, in English, the Prefaces, an Explanation; and a statement of principles of Civil Law and Commercial law
in outline form, with footnotes on each page. (The translator’s preface states: “The following pages contain the principles applied by the Supreme
Court in its decisions since the first year of the Republic. As the Supreme Court is the highest tribunal of the land, its decisions may be compared to
those of the House of Lords or the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of England. Moreover, as the Civil Code of China has not yet been
promulgated and the civil provisions saved from the Criminal Code of the Tsing Dynasty are too few and too rudimentary to meet the necessities of the time,
what contained in the following pages, so far as they relate to civil matters, is sometimes the duly concrete rules by which judges are guided in their
decisions and it is a body of rules in fact repeatedly applied—in other words, it forms the unwritten law of China in the juridical sense of the
term.”)
