English Law:

English Law is the Common Law legal system of England and Wales, comprising mainly of criminal law and civil law.
However since 1189, the concept of English Law had just been Common Law, and did not include the civil law system. Meaning there was no comprehensive codification of law.
This system of law developed in England’s Court of Common Pleas and other Common Law courts, and overtime became corrupted and controlled by a panel of judges who declared the law derived from custom and precedent.
English Law in modern times covers 4 main areas of law:
  1. Tort Law.
  2. Contract law.
  3. Property law.
  4. Criminal law.
All courts in England are still common law courts, for the people, by the people.
