María Victoria Petit Lavall, professor of Commercial Law at the Universitat Jaume I, has been appointed member of the General Codification Commission by the Ministry of the Presidency, Justice and Relations with the Courts.

The main functions of the General Codification Commission, created in 1843, are to prepare pre-legislative and regulatory texts, to revise current laws and regulations, and to issue opinions at the request of the government.

Petit Lavall is one of nine jurists recognized for their career and social commitment that the Ministry has appointed to this advisory body. There are seven women and two men, all with proven solvency in the legal world and a solid academic and informative background. Furthermore, they have demonstrated their firm commitment to the defence of individual rights and the recognition of minorities and are a reflection of a modern, feminist society committed to social values.

Following the appointments, the General Codification Commission is made up of 146 members, 69 of whom (47%) are women. All of them collaborate in the Commission without receiving any remuneration.

M. Victoria Petit Lavall, who joins as a member of the Commission's 2nd section (Commercial Law), has expressed her gratitude “that the work and effort of an entire career is rewarded with this appointment, which is a great honour and, at the same time, implies a great responsibility.” “I hope to be able to contribute, as is expected of me, to improving our legal system”, she added.

**M. Victoria Petit Lavall**   
M. Victoria Petit Lavall has a Bachelor’s Degree in Law (1988), a Diploma in Business Studies (1990) and a Doctorate in Law (1993) from the University of Valencia.

She is the author of more than 150 publications, journal articles and contributions to collective works. She is a specialist in Commercial Law, although for more than 20 years she has focused on Aeronautical, Maritime and Transport Law. In fact, she was the creator and director of the Institute of International Transport Law for eight years, a consolidated research institute and a European and international reference of the Universitat Jaume I in this field.

She has six six-year periods of research and six of teaching. She has directed and directs 10 national and regional research projects. In addition, she is the founder and director of two of the most prestigious scientific journals on the subject in Spain, *Revista del Derecho del Transporte* and *Revista de Derecho de los Sectores Regulados*.

Among her activities, apart from teaching and research, she has been secretary and vice-dean of the Faculty of Legal and Economic Sciences, and general secretary of the Universitat Jaume I for eight years. As an external activity, compatible with her dedication to the University, she has been a substitute magistrate of the Provincial Court of Castelló for more than 15 years. She is currently vice-president of the Court of Arbitration of the Chamber of Commerce of Castelló and a member of the Commission for the elaboration of a proposal for General Regulations for Recreational Navigation of the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility of the General Directorate of the Merchant Navy.
