For questions of constitutional law there is a separate constitutional court. Besides there are forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Additional legislation and bodies

Procedure

The courts' procedure is governed by the Law on civil procedure,[8] the Criminal procedure law,[9] the Law on the execution of court decisions,[10] and the Law on administrative procedure.[11]

Court administration

The Judicial General Council of Mongolia (Монгол Улсын Шүүхийн ерөнхий зөвлөл)[12] is to maintain the independence of the judiciary.[13] The status of judges is determined by a separate law.[14] The number of judges for each court is set by parliament.[15]

Alternative dispute resolution

For commercial disputes there is among others the Mongolian International and National Arbitration Center (MINAC; Монголын Олон Улсын ба Үндэсний Арбитр), established in 1960 at the Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI).[16][17] The Law on mediation and conciliation[18] provides for further forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Constitutional court

Mongolia's highest court is the Constitutional Court of Mongolia (Монгол Улсын Үндсэн хуулийн цэц).[19] It was established in 1992 and has its own procedural law.[20]
