Abstract

If it be objected that our proposal is wholly novel and that it is the function of the Uniform Act merely to codify existing law, changing it only in so far as is necessary to remove conflicting rules, we would answer that codification in a strict sense is impossible in a field which presents so many conflicting views as that before us. We also believe that the objection is less forceful when the existing law is wholly statutory and half our states have no such law. And we understand that the commissioners have more and more abandoned the strict ideal of codification and are now entering with some freedom upon the beneficent work of law improvement.
