There is no such thing as "enforceable" common-law. Common law evolved long ago into statute law and it is the provisions of statute law with which courts must contend with today. Statute law (especially in the English-speaking countries of the world) is based on common law but no such 'common law' survives today which is not codified and set forth in statute law. Common law is NOT legally enforceable.
