What were Greek laws of a nation called?

As Rome began to control other cities early in its history and incorporate foreigners, such as other Latins and Etruscans, into their regional hegemony, they developed a set of laws to apply to these newly subjugated people. Since they were not Roman citizens, Roman laws could not exactly apply to them. In their singular penchant for improvisation, the Romans developed a separate set of laws in the early fifth century to deal with crimes and civil complaints involving foreigners or the relation of foreigners to Romans. They called these new and separate laws, the Law of Nations.

What is the relevance of common law and statutory law to health and safety?

Common law is the law that applies where there is no specific act of Congress or Parliament that applies to a situation. It is based upon the common and customary law as developed in England over the centuries, and more recently in the US and other places where it is used in the legal system. Statutory Law is the system of laws (acts) passed by Congress or a Parliament. Since most countries have passed workplace health and safety acts, Common Law no longer applies. The specific Acts apply (Statutory Law applies)

Does your boyfriend become common law after a year?

No. In the US, only a few states continue to recognize common law marriage. In those states, the period of co-habitation is normally about 7 years. Additionally, common law marriage does not apply unless the parties hold themselves out as husband and wife. Continuing to refer to him as your boyfriend negates this element.


What are the differences between common law statute law and law of precedent?

In summary, there are two primary legal structures in the world. Some are derivatives or hybrids of each but in the main there is a Common Law System and a Civil Law System.In Common Law the ideal is that the law is applied in accordance with the local customs of the people - 'common' whereas the Civil Law has 'blanket application' if you like.Both systems generally have a standard Legislature and Executive (Parliament and Government) - see France as a Civil Law system and the United Kingdom or United States as Common Law. What this means is that in both systems there will be 'Statute Law' - that is Acts of Parliament or Congress etc.The judiciary are expected to apply these laws and interpret what they actually mean whilst doing so. In the Common Law world 'precedent' is basically the back catalogue of other judge's interpretations for today's judge to approve or disprove.The ideal of Civil Law is that the statute should be clear as to it's application that there is no need for disagreement on 'what was actually meant' - therefore erasing the need for legal 'precedent'. NB. While in England a Common Law system is used, this does not apply to the entire UK. Due to historical influences from both Europe and England (having been occupied by them), Scotland has a system inclusive of both Common and Civil Law.
