This paper examines how the Supreme Court in the Early of the Republic of China (1911-1928) applied the concept of“public order and good morals”. Although there was no formal civil code at the time that stipulated the use of a public order and good morals clause, the Supreme Court in the Early of the Republic of China still accepted this concept and shaped its meaning through its judgments. The study first organizes and analyzes relevant cases to discuss how the Supreme Court in the Early of the Republic of China specifically applied the concepts of“public order”and“good morals.”After understanding the methodology of the Supreme Court in the Early of the Republic of China, the paper uses German law as a comparative framework to further analyze the issues at hand. his will help to demonstrate and evaluate the historical significance of the judgments and legal reasoning of the Supreme Court in the Early of the Republic of China. Finally, the paper will conclude that while its use of the concept of“public order and good morals”might have been brief and imprecise in its reasoning, it can still be considered as correctly falling within the framework of modern legal hermeneutics. Furthermore, its influence can still be seen and felt in the later discourse of the Supreme Court. From the perspective of legal reception, the judgments of the Supreme Court in the Early of the Republic of China truly introduced Western legal systems and concepts into its decisions and actively applied them. This work continued the results of the legal reform process from the late Qing Dynasty and provided a crucial link to the subsequent promulgation of new laws by the National Government, particularly the establishment and implementation of the Civil Code. However, from a practical standpoint, its work did not completely change the social reality or the mindset of the people at the time, but this does not diminish the significance of its efforts. |
