Dutch Civil Law Explained:
What It Covers and Why It Matters
Dutch civil law governs everyday legal matters in the Netherlands — from contracts and property disputes to family law, liability, and inheritance. Learn what it covers and how it protects your rights.
What Is Dutch Civil Law?
Dutch civil law, also known as private law in the Netherlands, governs the legal relationships between individuals, companies, and organizations. It deals with legal matters that affect your personal and professional life — from renting a home and signing contracts to inheritance, liability claims, and divorce.
Civil law is distinct from criminal law. Instead of the government prosecuting someone for a crime, civil law is about conflicts between private parties. These disputes often involve contracts, property, family matters, or compensation for damages.
