All English law evolves over the years as it is a common law as opposed to civil law system. That is to say it is based on judges and courts interpreting facts an handing down judgments where no law already exists or is ambiguous. These judgments form a body of cases the decisions of which are "binding" on junior courts based on precedent or "stare decis".

This is in contrast to civil law where everything is set down in statutes and codes.
Stare decisis is the guiding principle for courts that makes decisions predictable and consistent.
