The English Legal System is a legal system that dates back to 1066, evolving over time until the present day. Throughout the world, it is known as common law. While Common law consists of case-law and statutes, it has reached its present state by incorporating elements of international law, prerogative power and other legal and non-legal sources such as conventions and customs. This book does not repeat material that is available in many textbooks that are in print. Rather, it endeavours to present every topic in plain language and concludes every chapter with a fictitious explanatory sample case. In other words, it is an introduction to the subject of the English Legal System, the objective of which is to explain the topic both theoretically and in its application. Additionally, this book will assist students to prepare for courseworks/examinations. At the end of the book there is also a test that summarises all the subjects contained in the book, which is appropriate to the first stage SQE examination model that will be introduced in September 2021.
