Argentina has enacted a new Civil and Commercial Code and has repealed the Civil Code as well as the Commercial Code (except for a few articles). This publication is the second edition of Romanach's English translation of the New Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina which went into effect on August 1, 2015. The new Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina is, without a doubt, the most significant legislative enactment from South America in a century and a half. It is also thus far, in all probability, the most significant legislative accomplishment in the civil-law world of the twenty-first century. The new Code, consisting of 2,671 articles divided into a Preliminary Title and six Books, touches upon nearly every aspect of private law, from family relations to sophisticated commercial transactions. It covers, for example, Argentina's contract law, real estate law, the law of torts, successions, and security rights. It also contains what is essentially a Code of Private International Law that incorporates the latest developments in the area of conflict of laws. The new Code provides rules governing traditional civil-law contracts such as sale and lease; as well as special provisions for contracts involving consumers; and commercial contracts -- such as franchising, concessions, and banking contracts just to name a few. No fewer than thirty special contracts are regulated by the new Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina. This second edition of Romanach's English translation of the Civil and Commercial Code of Argentina (2025) is a revised and updated work, containing updates reflected in official sources as of November 25, 2024. During the decade that transpired since the publication of the first edition of this work, the Argentine Congress and the Executive Power have approved significant amendments to the Argentine Civil and Commercial Code. Julio Romanach has carefully translated all statutes and decrees affecting the Civil and Commercial Code, incorporating all changes in the law into this edition. In order to increase the usefulness of this work as a research tool, all amended articles contain both the original version as approved in 2014 as well as the amended text.
