The article focuses on the purpose and origin of the law reform commission of Scotland. It informs that the Scottish law reform commission serves the purpose of drafting or redrafting a civil code, new insolvency law, and other laws. It discusses several functions of the Law Commission under the Law Commissions Act 1965 including law reformation, revising statute law, and codification. The commissions are thought of dealing with private law only but there is no such restriction in the Act.
