Features: The main argument of this book lies in examining the concept of "freedom of contract," one of the most important foundational principles of modern civil law, in the early years of the Republic of China (1912–1928), when the Civil Code had not yet been established. How did this concept emerge? Did it arise through the judicial practices of the highest judicial body at the time, the Supreme Court of Justice? What social and cultural significance do such historical facts represent? This book attempts to address the above questions.
