TEXT 2

 

Common Law

 

Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопросы.

1. Why is common law called “English”?

2. Why are so many countries influenced by common law?

 

Common Law (Anglo-Saxon legal family) is a type of legal system, oftensynonymous 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.
