LAW OF CHILE The legal system of Chile belongs to the Continenta

Law tradition. The basis for its public law is the 1980 Constitution,

reformed in 1989 and 2005.

PUBLIC LAW

Constitution• The current Political Constitution of the Republic of

Chile• approved by Chilean voters in a tightly

controlled plebiscite on September 11, 1980 under Augusto Pinochet, and made effective on March 11, 1981

• has been amended in 1989, 1991, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2005.

LAW OF CHILEAdministrative law• The President of the Republic must fulfill the

administrative function, in collaboration with several Ministries or other authorities with ministerial rank. Public property is subject to privileges and burdens,

• There is not a singular Administrative court to deal with actions against the administrative entities, but several specialized courts and procedures of review.

LAW OF CHILEPRIVATE LAW

Civil Code• The Civil Code of the Republic of Chile is the work of the

Chilean-Venezuelan jurist and legislator Andrés Bello. • Congress passed the Civil Code into law on 14 December

1855, and came into force on 1 January 1857. • The Code has kept in force since then though it has been

the object of numerous alterations.• The main modernisations the code has undergone have

affected family law and the law of successions sentences of a higher court can be appealed to the Supreme Court based in the erroneous application of the law, thus being able to deliver uniform decisions in controversial matters of law. 

LAW OF CHILECommerce• Though the Commerce Code of 1868 was the main source

of business law, nowadays the legislation is widely spread in many legislative bodies.

• For instance, both the Civil Code and the Commerce Code deal with the basic matters of enterprises, but Corporations and limited liability enterprises have a statute of its own.

• Recently the law of bankruptcy has been incorporated in the Commerce Code, in a process of re-codification.

• Matters such as banking and the stock exchange are strongly regulated by government agencies and therefore are subject to public scrutiny. Recently, these agencies have fined important executives for insider trading
