Law of Cameroon

Mixed and Hybrid Legal Systems

Cameroon's legal system is a mixture of the French civil law system and English common law, a legacy of the period after the First World War when Cameroon was administered by France and the United Kingdom, first as a League of Nations mandate and then as a United Nations trust territory from 1916 to 1961.
