Guam § 723 - Scope of This Chapter.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 723 — Scope of This Chapter., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 723. Scope of This Chapter.
This Chapter shall apply to this Code, as the titles thereof become law, and to the Government Code,
Civil Code, Code of Civil Procedure and Probate Code, so long as the latter Codes remain outside of the
Guam Code Annotated. The definitions found in this Chapter shall apply to the Criminal and Correctional
Code, to the Criminal Procedure Code, which are Titles 8 and 9 of this Code, and to the Uniform
Commercial Code, which is Title 13 of this Code, only if the definitions of this Chapter are consistent with
the definitions contained in Titles 8, 9, and 13 of this Code.
1980 COMMENT: This Section is required to insure that this Chapter is seen to cover all the Codes of Guam existing
at the time this Title is enacted, not only the GCA. The sections replaced by this Chapter are repealed from the Codes
affected so that there are not two definitions, or sometimes three, enacted at one time on one subject. Several of the
definitions contained herein are combinations of definitions from three codes and differ, in form, from all three.
Therefore, to have these definitions, and the Code definitions enacted at the one time would cause much confusion.
