Transplanting Secured Transactions Law: Trapped in the Civil Code for Emerging Economy Countries

Abstract

It is time for Vietnam to amend its secured transactions law by creating a body of secured transactions law separate from the Civil Code. This new secured transactions law should embody the international community’s unitary approach. Separating secured transactions law from the Civil Code would allow Vietnam to revise its secured transactions law to respond and adapt to market reality, without waiting for the entire Civil Code to be revised all at once.
