Nauruan law, since the country's 1968 independence from Australia, derives primarily from English and Australian common law, while also drawing on indigenous customary law to a limited extent. It rests mainly on statute enacted by the Parliament of Nauru together with precedents set through judicial interpretation of statutes, custom and prior rulings.
