Following the work of our predecessors, modifications were made to the appearance and structure of the journal in a bid to improve on what had already been achieved. 'Id-Dritt' now enjoys a new format and should in fact, sit neatly among other legal text books but stick out at the same time - being the only entirely student-produced publication of its kind. Eventually, this volume will also form part of a collection of similar publications dating back to 1944 which have also been re-vamped and are now being re-published in this new and improved format. Of course content-wise, this journal retains articles of the best quality, written by eminent figures in the legal profession - both local as well as foreign. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/65611 Title: The Institute of Retratto Successorio under Maltese Law Authors: Farrugia, Phyllis Abstract: There was a time when society prioritized the preservation of an estate beyond time. Social mobility was imperceptible. Patrimony and ranking were strongly tied, and every effort was made to exclude persons extraneous to the family from its internal affairs. It is against this archaic setting that the institute of retratto successorio must be considered. Remnants of this cultural perception still survive, though it is understood that these traits are doomed to fade away. Is there still a place for the retratto successorio within the current framework of the law of succession? This question lies at the heart of the forthcoming discussion on the purpose and development of this institute. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/65610 Title: The removal of relative incapacities of children by Act XVIII of 2004 Authors: Farrugia, Ruth Abstract: The amendments to the Civil Code which came into force through Act XVIII of 2004 affect a large number of sections spread throughout the Code. They include the removal of the term "illegitimate", the introduction of the rights subsequent to this removal, a number of other amendments within the law of succession, co-ownership and acts of status. My brief in this article is to highlight the removal of relative incapacities of children. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
