                                THE COMMON LAW

       The English legal system possesses one remarkable feature – derived from
the days of feudalism – which distinguished it from the legal systems of nearly
all other countries in the world: an important part of the law has never been
considered, debated or approved by any Parliament. Many of the laws of
England are contained not in Parliamentary statutes, but in all the reports of the
cases decided by judges of the High Court, Court of Appeal and House of Lords.
       The practice of recording the judgements of the royal judges is of ancient
origin, having begun as far back as the reign of Edward 1, and from the
sixteenth century it became accepted that a decided case constituted an
authoritative “precedent”, meaning that when one judge has decided a point of
law, any judge who is subsequently confronted with a similar set of facts must
apply the declared in the earlier judgement, even though he may personally
think that the earlier case was wrongly decided. In this way the law was
gradually built up, case by case, by generations of different judges. This vast
tangled mass of reported cases stretching back to the days of Elizabeth 1 and
even beyond, each being the authority for a single point of law, and some being
inconsistent with others, is the famous English “common law”. Thus English
law has been built through a combination of statute law and judge-made law, the
latter being known as the common law.
