ADVANTAGES OF CODIFICATION

1. Codification brings greater certainty of law in a legal

system
2. Code of law is precise in form and is, therefore,
easier to learn
3. Statute law in code conforms the changing needs of
the time
4. Statute law is impersonal in codification

DISADVANTAGES OF CODIFICATION
1. It enables intending criminals to find a way out of law
because of its defects.
2. It makes the law rigid and prevents its further growth.

dealing with all perspective cases.

several meanings.
