Текст:
Common Law (Anglo-Saxon legal family) is a type of legal system, often synonymous with “English
common law”, which is the system of England and Wales in the UK. It is also in force in approximately
80 countries which were a part of or greatly influenced by the former British Empire. The English
common law reflects Biblical influences as well as systems imposed by early conquerors including the
Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Normans.
Some legal scholars attribute the formation of the English common law system to King Henry II
(r. 1154-1189). Until the time of his reign, laws customary were administered locally. Henry II, having
established the King’s court, designated that laws were “common” to the entire England.
The foundation of English common law is “legal precedent” – referred to as stare decisis (Lat),
meaning “to stand by things decided”. In the English common law system, court judges are bound in
their decisions in large part by the rules and other doctrines developed by the judges of earlier English
courts. These rules were supplemented or amended over time.
