General Principles of Civil Law in Nepal: Foundation of Rights and Obligations

General Principles of Civil Law in Nepal: Foundation of Rights and Obligations

The general principles of civil law in Nepal provide a structured framework for fairness, accountability, and legal order in society. Key principles such as "ignorance of the law is no excuse," "acts against public interest are invalid," "liability for wrongdoing," and "good neighborliness" ensure that personal and commercial relations are governed by justice and consistency. These principles also confirm that customs contrary to law are unenforceable and that civil obligations extend equally to foreigners. Upholding these standards strengthens public confidence in the legal system and promotes a fair, harmonious social and economic environment. Alpine Law Associates provides expert guidance in civil law matters.

Principle of res-judicata in Nepal

Principle of res-judicata in Nepal

Res judicata is a core procedural principle in Nepalese law that prohibits re-litigation of matters already decided by a competent court. Derived from the Latin for "a matter judged," it ensures legal certainty, judicial efficiency, and protection against repeated lawsuits. The Muluki Civil Procedure Code outlines when res judicata applies, requiring a final judgment, jurisdiction, merit-based decision, and identity of parties and claims. This doctrine plays a vital role in upholding the integrity of Nepal’s legal system by discouraging redundant claims and safeguarding the finality of court decisions.
