It is paramount for anyone willing to understand the laws of Cyprus and its Legal System to have a brief understanding of European Law. The European Union is large and respected union of countries and states in which they have their own European Laws that all member states adhere to. The structure of EU law is rather comprehensive but to summarise it, the European Union laws are binding on all member states which means that domestic laws cannot contradict with them. Being part of the European Union also gives citizens’ rights and access to justice which allows them to take their own countries to the European Court of Justice.
