Summary/Abstract: The new Civil Code seeks a major recodification reform, which reflects the national legal tradition and culture, through continuity, associated with the conceptual and regulatory framework of Romanian realities and the general trend of emergency with European law, in the context of globalization. The study analyzes a series of aspects introduced by the New Civil Code, starting from the new approach of commercial law institutions, a reconsideration of the institution of trade and merchant, which defines the concepts of enterprise and professional, to elements of personality rights, personal attributes and the exercise of its right to self-determination, and the means of defending non-patrimonial rights.
