Fiji Law

Fiji Law is the legal system that governs the country, based on a combination of statutes (written laws), customary practices, and judicial decisions. It covers areas like rights, responsibilities, property, crime, and government functions. The law aims to maintain order, protect individuals’ rights, and promote justice. Fiji’s legal system recognizes both Western legal principles and traditional Fijian customs, especially in personal and land matters, ensuring a balance between modern law and cultural practices. Laws are enacted by the Parliament and interpreted by courts to address societal issues fairly and consistently.
