Abstract
El presente artículo pretende dilucidar las razones fundamentales sobre las que Andrés Bello baso su decisión de no incluir y derogar la institución de la restitutio in integrum proveniente del Derecho Indiano al redactar el Código Civil. Se analizará además el significado y las implicaciones de la “Ley sobre el efecto retroactivo” promulgada en 1861- es decir, tan solo cuatro años después de que el código haya entrado en vigencia- la cual hace referencia explícita a esta institución en su Artículo 11, en lo que parece una contradicción al prohibir su ejercicio, una vez que ya había sido derogada por el Código Civil
The object of the present paper is to explain the fundamental reasons on which Andres Bello based his decision to exclude and derogate the legal institution of restitutio in integrum, derived ultimately from the Derecho Indiano (Spanish colonial law on the status of Indians), when drafting the Chilean Civil Code of 1857. It will also analyze the meaning and implications of the “Law on retroactive effect”, enacted in 1861. In what seems a contradiction, Article 11 of this law makes explicit reference to the restitutio in integrum, prohibiting its exercise only four years after it had already been derogated by the Civil Code
