Content
The whole of Law is one discipline with communal institutions, sources, methods and concepts. All laws come into existence according to a standard pattern. Statements of the court often concern problems from Procedural Law, as well as from other different branches of Law or the code (for example the civil code and the corporation code).
Traditionally - especially for pedagogical reasons - National Law is divided into Public Law and Private Law (with further subdivisions). Private Law regulates the relationships between private persons (including corporations and government, when they act as entrepreneur) and Public Law regulates the functioning of State and the Law relationships between State and private persons.
The jurisdical rules that regulate economic activities can be found in several branches of Law: the Civil Law and Commercial Law that belong to Private Law, the Market Law concerning the government's regulation of and intervention on the market and that is mixed Public Law/Private Law, Tax Law, Administrative Law and even Criminal Law (all belonging to Public Law).
