Thailand Supreme Court Opinion Summaries

Thailand is a civil law jurisdiction that also has elements of the common law system. Accordingly, the principle law sources are acts, statutes and regulations. However, published Supreme Court decisions are an important part of the legal development of Thailand and are frequently used as secondary authority.


Thailand Supreme Court Opinions are published in numbered issues according to the year in which the opinion was issued.  Our English language translations of selected opinion summaries, provided by Chaninat & Leeds, are arranged in numbered issues corresponding to the Thai language publications.
