Abstract:	It is said that Maltese law has succeeded in making a happy union between British public law and its own private law, which belongs to the legal system derived from the Roman or the civil law. Even a cursory examination of the Maltese Civil Code reveals its close connection with the Code Napoleon, with the Italian Code and with other codes of Southern European nations. The combination of these two laws has been a feature in Maltese affairs for the last 140 years. In this paper I shall try to throw some light on the manner in which this `union' has worked in practice. As you will expect, some difficulties have now and again been experienced, but on the whole it has been possible to keep the parties to this union on good terms. [excerpt]
