Episode 3: Why similar violations receive different outcomes in Vietnam

In Vietnam, companies often ask the same question:

“Why do similar issues lead to different regulatory outcomes?”

At first glance, the answer may feel uncomfortable — even unfair.
But in reality, the explanation lies in legal structure, not enforcement bias.

Vietnam operates under a civil law system, not a common law system.
This means regulatory outcomes are not driven by comparison with past cases,
but by how written law applies to the specific factual circumstances at the time of assessment.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why precedent plays a limited role in civil law systems
How factual context and real-world impact shape enforcement decisions
Why internal remediation, timing, and consequences matter more than comparison
What boards and management teams should focus on before enforcement begins

For foreign investors and cross-border boards, this distinction is critical.
Many perceived inconsistencies are actually expectation mismatches between legal systems.

Understanding this early helps leadership teams make clearer, more informed decisions — long before regulatory scrutiny arises.

This topic frequently arises in cross-border operations and board discussions.
Awareness of legal system differences is often the first step toward effective compliance and risk management.
