1. LEGAL FRAMEWORK
1.1 Does your jurisdiction have a civil law system, a
common law system, or a hybrid system?
The Mongolian law system was established on the basis of the
1992 Constitution and is a civil law system primarily based on the
continental or Romano-Germanic tradition, although it retains some
typical aspects of the Soviet legal system. The Civil Code of
Mongolia is ostensibly modelled on the major continental European
codifications – in particular, the German Civil Code.
In Mongolia, the source of law is written law and the courts
apply laws only in settling cases or disputes. The main sources of
law are:
- the Constitution;
- international treaties;
- parliamentary laws;
