You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.87.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:04, 19 October 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((More citations needed|date=July 2022))((short description|Overview of the law of the Netherlands))

The [[Netherlands]] uses [[Civil law (legal system)|civil law]]. The role of [[case law]] is small in theory, although in practice it is impossible to understand the law in many fields without also taking into account the relevant [[case law]]. The Dutch system of law is based on the French [[Civil Code]] with some influence from [[Roman-Dutch law]] (which it replaced) and pre-codal [[Custom (law)|customary law]]. The new Civil Code (which went into force in 1992) was heavily influenced by the German ''[[Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch]]''.

The primary law-making body is formed by the Dutch parliament in cooperation with the government, operating jointly to create laws they are commonly referred to as the legislature (Dutch: ''wetgever''). The power to make new laws can be delegated to lower governments or specific organs of the State, but only for a prescribed purpose. A trend in recent years has been for parliament and the government to create "framework laws" and delegate the creation of detailed rules to ministers or lower governments (e.g. a province or municipality).

The [[Ministry of Justice and Security (Netherlands)|Ministry of Justice and Security]] is the main institution of Dutch law.

==Areas of law==

The domain of Dutch law is commonly divided in the following areas:
* [[Administrative law]]
* [[Civil law (area)|Civil law]] (including family law, inheritance law, contract law and commercial law)
* [[Criminal law]]
* [[Constitutional law]] (including laws on the structure of the state)
* [[European law]]
* [[International law]]

===Civil law===

[[Civil law (area)|Civil law]] is the domain of law that regulates the everyday life of persons and other legal entities (such as corporations).  The main code of Dutch civil law is the [[Burgerlijk Wetboek]].

=== Nationality law ===
((main|Dutch nationality law))

===Criminal law===

[[Criminal law]] deals with the prosecution and [[Criminal justice system of the Netherlands|punishment of criminal offenses]]. The main code is the '''Wetboek van Strafrecht''' ([[:nl:Wetboek van Strafrecht|nl]]).

===Constitutional law===

[[Constitutional law]] involves itself with the constitution and the structure of the Netherlands. It involves powers of democratic institutions, the organization of elections and the divisions of powers between central and local governments. See also the article on the [[Constitution of the Netherlands]]. Following the practice of many [[civil law (legal system)|civil law]] jurisdictions and in contrast to practice in nations such as the [[United States]], the practice of Dutch constitutional law is that judges are not allowed to determine the constitutionality of laws created by the legislature (the government and parliament acting jointly).

===Administrative law===

[[Administrative law]] is the area of law that regulates the operation of the various levels of government and the way persons and legal entities can appeal decisions of the government. The basics of Dutch administrative law were overhauled completely in 1994 with the advent of the new Basic Administrative Law (Dutch: ''Algemene Wet Bestuursrecht'').

===European law===
[[European law]] deals with the influence of laws and regulations of the European Union in the laws of the Netherlands.
