Customary law is advantageous because it is based on the traditions, customs, and practices of a specific community, making it more culturally relevant and easily understood by community members. It also promotes social cohesion and harmony by resolving disputes in a manner that aligns with the values and norms of the community. Additionally, customary law can be more accessible and cost-effective than formal legal systems, particularly in regions where access to justice is limited.
Customary law
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)
