description The codification of Spanish civil law did not achieve the desired uniformity in all of Spain.

Later, within the framework of the plurality of civil legislation that was recognized in the Spanish Constitution, Catalonia (and other territories) gradually developed their competence in civil matters. On occasions, this has made it possible to overcome the passivity of the state legislator in regard to dealing with the lack of modern reforms in the CC. A civil code imposes rationality and legal security and provides the opportunity to craft law tailored to the particular needs and interests of the society for which the civil code is intended. Beyond juridical incentives, there are also political motivations behind codification.
