In [[Mauritius]], the Civil Code, which originates from the Napoleonic Code, represents an important primary source of law and provides for the rights of individuals, matrimonial regimes, contract law, and property law, amongst others.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.mauritiuscounsel.com/mauritian-legal-system/ | title=The Mauritian Legal System | date=January 2018 }}</ref> The French Civil Code was extended to Mauritius under the title Code Napoléon by decree of [[Charles Mathieu Isidore Decaen]], Capitaine-General, on 21 April 1808.<ref>{{Cite web |title=electronic |url=https://www.ilo.org/dyn/natlex/docs/ELECTRONIC/88152/114145/F-172904586/MUS88152%20Fre.pdf |website=www.ilo.org}}</ref> The Code was modified and embodied in Chapter 179 of the Revised Laws of Mauritius 1945, edited by Sir Charlton Lane, former Chief Justice of Mauritius.
