A legal analysis on the renunciation, revocation and termination of a mandate according to Title XVIII of the civil code

Abstract

This paper bestows the analysis of the law of the Termination of Mandate as it is through the eyes of the local legislator in our Civil Code. In order to improve such analysis and discussion reference is made to a number of judgements delivered by our courts, one of which even dates back to 1898 which signalled the need for the only recently introduced irrevocable mandate. These judgements intend to elucidate the various circumstances which one may come across after he has contracted to such a legal instrument, which may lead to its termination or even circumstances which may arise from such termination. Beyond the in depth discussion, there shall emerge possibilities for reform of the current legislation in order to further facilitate the lives of civilians through envisioning a more ideal and sophisticated legal system. Such reform which would not be possible without the examination of the same concept, of termination, as legislated and controlled by other legal systems. Essentially this paper would therefore discuss Title XVIII of Book Second of the civil code from the perspective of termination of the mandate with particular reference to Sub Title IV, 'OF THE WAYS IN WHICH MANDATE IS TERMINATED'. Therefore discussing the revocation, renunciation and termination of a mandate in the eyes of the law and opening upon the recent amendments which have affected our law since the Aircraft Registration act of 2010. Hence, this paper is divided into 3 Chapters; ‘The Contract of Mandate and its Termination’, ‘The Termination of Mandate as Beyond Our Jurisdiction’ and ‘Reform to the Law of Termination Mandate’ respectively in hopes to dissect the elements pertaining to the termination of the contract in order to provide a more coherent understanding of the instrument.
