* Common law (also known as case law) - made by judges, evolved over centuries from the judgment of cases appearing before the courts. These judgments set precedents against which future cases are judged * Legislation - which includes statutes and Acts of Parliament * European Community (EC) Law - which is binding in all UK legal systems. :) Hope I helped!

∙ 15y agoCommon law or case law is built on "stare decisis" a history of previous decisions on cases that have appeared in the court, or related courts, before. The thinking is that previous judges have handed down reasoned judgments and these outcomes should be equally good for other identical cases. The task of the lawyers then becomes mapping out the present case to past cases to show ithe similarities or differences.
