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.

Understanding Legal Personality in Nepal’s Civil Code

Understanding Legal Personality in Nepal’s Civil Code

The concept of legal personality is central to civil law, allowing entities like corporations and institutions to hold rights and obligations separate from their members. Under Nepal’s Muluki Civil Code 2074, legal personality empowers bodies corporate to own property, enter contracts, and be liable independently. Sections 42–53 comprehensively define incorporation procedures, corporate powers, liabilities, and special provisions for merger and conflict of interest. Recognizing legal persons promotes justice, accountability, and efficiency in both public and private sectors. Alpine Law Associates explains how legal personality facilitates modern legal systems and the smooth functioning of Nepalese society.
