Following Sri Lanka’s independence in 1948, the nation entered a transformative legal era. While Roman-Dutch civil law remained intact, the legislature started passing new Acts reflecting the country’s evolving identity and governance needs. Landmark statutes such as the Ceylon Citizenship Act of 1948 and various education and nationalization reforms shaped post-colonial policy. Despite the introduction of parliamentary statutes, legal research during this period often requires sifting through scattered records and cross-referencing overlapping frameworks inherited from the British and Dutch periods.
