• Nepal has a largely codified (civil-law style) system, historically through the Muluki Ain (first promulgated 1910 BS / 1853 AD and re-enacted 2020 BS; now replaced by the Codes of 2074).
• Yet Nepali courts also rely on precedent: the Constitution (Art. 128(4)) makes Supreme Court interpretations and legal principles binding on all. Case law is thus a formal source in Nepal — an example of a mixed tradition.
