Section 5 Adjudication Cases Regarding Declaration of Presumed Death
The law as Act Partially Amending the Civil Code, etc. (Act No. 45 of 2026) leaves it, with the words it changes marked.
The main text is read a page at a time: a chapter to a page, and a long chapter in runs of articles. The whole main text, and the supplementary provisions and appended tables this amendment changes. Those it leaves untouched are on the page for the text in force.
An adjudication case for the declaration of presumed death (meaning an adjudication case regarding the matters set forth in Appended Table 1, row (56); the same applies in the following paragraph) is subject to the jurisdiction of the family court which has jurisdiction over the previous place of domicile or residence of an absentee.
