Mauritius is a mixed legal system drawing from both Civil Law and Common Law traditions. Our practice is firmly rooted in the legislative framework that governs family, property, civil and corporate matters across the Republic.
Below are some of the main laws and regulations that guide our work at Etude Jesha Boodram.
Our family and matrimonial cases are governed primarily by the Civil Code of Mauritius, the Code de Procédure Civile, and the Matrimonial Causes Act.
These statutes define the rights and responsibilities of spouses, regulate petitions for divorce, custody, alimony and parental authority, and ensure that every matter is decided in the best interests of the child.

Our property and real estate work follows the Civil Code, the Land (Duties and Taxes) Act, and the Notaries Act, as well as specific planning and building regulations enforced by local authorities.
We also assist with VEFA (Vente en l’État Futur d’Achèvement) contracts, morcellement permits, and property registration under the Land Registration Act.
