The Doctrine of Precedent and Common Law
- The doctrine of precedent is the very basis of the common law
- Also referred to as judge-made law is the result of court rulings
- Equally important as the law enacted by Parliament is the result of the legislative procedure in the UK Parliament-made law
- It enables a more flexible reaction to certain provisions of the legislation or concrete case details, which are not covered by statutes
- Also known as stare decisis is lat. ,,to stand by decided matter”
It is hoped that this point will remain before the constitutional experts.
