ABSTRACT
There are different interpretations of the phrase ‘source of law’. It can, in jurisprudence, refer to what it is in our nature or society that necessitates law. More generally, however, the expression refers to the procedural origin of the law which is applied in the courts. There are three main sources: Parliamentary legislation, delegated legislation and the common law. Used in this sense, the latter phrase ‘common law’ connotes all judge made law and therefore includes equity.
