About this book
A structured tour of how law actually works in Andorra — where it comes from, who makes it, which court hears what, and how an ordinary person or business interacts with the system. Written for readers with no legal training, with every institution named and every primary source cited so you can verify the position yourself. A civil-law microstate whose 1993 Constitution turned an ancient feudal arrangement into a modern parliamentary democracy under two co-princes. Andorra uses the euro under a monetary agreement with the EU without being a member.
