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". If the circumstances are the same the following court must follow the finding set down, only if the circumstances are different can it deviate. This is in contrast to civil law where everything is set down in statutes and codes.

When was the ancient rome civil laws passed?
Roman civil law was never passed. It evolved over nearly 1,000 years. The first written law was the Law of the Ten Tables (450 BC) which was complied by a committee of ten men (decemviri) due to popular demand for a written and published law. It was not voted on. Over the next 430 years of the Roman republic Roman law evolved through amendments and innovations made by the praetors, the chief justices. Under the the rule by emperors the emperors issued enactments which were not voted on because the emperors were absolute rulers. Emperor Justinian the Great commissioned the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law) which was published in 534 AD. This was a compendium of a selection of edited extracts from 400 years of imperial enactments. It codified, organised and rationalised Roman civil law because over the centuries it had become chaotic. It also scrapped redundant enactments and clarified obscure passages. Again, it was not voted on because emperors did not need to have their laws passed.
