ABSTRACT
If you are covering this theme, you should be very familiar with the origins and modern role of both common law and equity. You should also understand the details of the process of enacting legislation from the stage before the publication of Green Papers to the final stage, the Royal Assent. However, the English legal system cannot be treated as static; it is continuously responding to changes that take place in society as a whole. To deny the relevance of European law in an English legal system course would not only be restrictive, it would be wrong to the extent that it ignored an increasingly important factor in the formation and determination of UK law.
