The Sources of English Law

The main sources of law in England and Wales are common law, legislation and European Community law.

Common law is the ancient law of the land. It forms the basis of the law. Although judges today may develop common law they interpret and apply statute law which is now the main source of legal development.

Legislation consists of laws made by or under the authority of the Parliament and may be:

1) statutes (or Acts of Parliament);

2) orders in Council, i.e. orders made by the Queen in Council. In practice, the Minister of a Government department usually drafts and makes the Order in the name of the Queen, whose approval is a formality;

 

3) orders, rules, regulations normally made by Ministers of a Government department, but such rules must be submitted to Parliament for approval;

4) by-laws made by local authorities exercising power conferred upon them by Parliament. By-laws require the approval of the appropriate Minister before they have legislative force.
