The Dominican Republic legal
system (Dominican law), for the most part, is  derived from laws or statutes
known as Napoleonic codes, which were introduced to the country in the
1800's.
The Dominican Civil and Commercial Codes are actually just a mere
translation of the Napoleonic Codes, and the influence of the French government
and ideals permeates the Dominican legal system. With the adoption of
the French legal system, Dominican law has skipped a long way to build
a local doctrine and has replaced case law gaps with case law from the
French legal system. For those historical reasons, it is common in the
Dominican Republic to use French case law and doctrine as primary
source of law, whenever the legal texts in question are
based on the French Codes.
