Law of juridical transition and foundation of the Republic (Catalan: Llei de transitorietat jurídica i fundacional de la República) is the name of a Catalan law whose objective is to guarantee legal security, as well as the orderly succession of the administrations and the continuity of public services, during the transition process of Catalonia to an independent state. It was drafted to function as a provisional constitution in case 'yes' won the referendum.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The law was passed by the Parliament of Catalonia on September 8, 2017 with 71 votes in favor (out of 135) from the ruling coalition (JxS and CUP-CC); the left-wing opposition party CSQP voted against it and the other opposition parties left the chamber before the votes were cast.[7] The law was temporarily suspended on September 12 by the Constitutional Court of Spain.[8]
