Concerning the category of “civil law and order”

The concept of “civil law and order” belongs to the basic categories of the civil jurisprudence, as evidenced by its high theoretical and disciplinary status on the content part, and by the frequency of reference in the civil law literature on the formal part. Meanwhile in recent years the trend has emerged in general theoretical literature to treat civil law order as “spontaneous”, “informal” order, where “criminal order is one of its forms”. The article analyses this trend and argues that such an approach is unacceptable as long as it leads to “erosion” of the indicated category's meaning.
