An example of a common law in North Carolina is the doctrine of negligence, which establishes the standard of care that individuals owe to one another in various situations. Under this doctrine, a person can be held legally responsible for failing to act with reasonable care if their actions (or inactions) cause harm to another person. This principle is derived from judicial decisions over time rather than from legislative statutes.
