Spain
| Legal system family | Civil law |
| How the law works | Influenced by the Napoleonic Code, it also incorporates elements of Spain's legal tradition, beginning with the Siete Partidas, a major legislative achievement of the Middle Ages. That body of law remained more or less unchanged until the 19th century, when the first civil codes were drafted, merging both the Napoleonic style with the Castilian traditions. Aragon, Balearics, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Galicia, and Navarre still have its own private law (the so-called foral law) which predates and survived the Spanish process of uniformisation, in the Catalan case, its private law is currently fully codificated in the form of the Civil Code of Catalonia. |
