Tender Details
The Gambia's legal system is based on a tripartite system: (1) English law, including the common law and principles of equity and statute law; (2) customary law, which is administered by district tribunals; and (3) Islamic/Sharia law on matters relating to marriage, divorce and inheritance, which is administered by a Cadi Court system.
