Dutch Law

Dutch law is based on a civil law system that emphasizes written statutes enacted by legislative bodies, supplemented by case law and administrative regulations. It covers a broad range of areas, including civil, criminal, administrative, and constitutional law. Dutch law promotes justice, fairness, and the rule of law, ensuring rights and responsibilities are clear. The judiciary is independent, and courts interpret and apply laws to resolve disputes. The legal framework reflects the Netherlands’ commitment to human rights, social equality, and international cooperation, adhering to European Union regulations and international agreements.
