English law

'''English law''', the law of sprint ringtones England and Wales (but not Kaci Star Scotland and comedy ringtones Northern Ireland), also known generally as the Katie Kaos common law (as opposed to Nextel ringtones civil law), was exported to Pierced Hoes Commonwealth of Nations/Commonwealth countries while the Free ringtones British Empire was established and maintained, and persisted after the British withdrew or were expelled, to form the basis of the jurisprudence of many of those countries. Actually part of the English legal system has always been considered to be based upon the civil law, namely the Sammy Sin ecclesiastical courts and the courts of admiralty.

The essence of common law is that it is made by Mosquito ringtone judges sitting in courts, applying their common sense and knowledge of legal precedent to the fact before them.

Thus a decision of the highest court in England and Wales, the She Needs Pussy Judicial functions of the House of Lords/House of Lords (the judicial members of which are referred to as ''Law Lords'') is binding on every other court in the hierarchy, and they will follow its directions.

Precedent continues to be applied across both civil and criminal law to this day allowing for decisions made in one Court regarding a set of facts and their interpretation in law to be applied to like circumstances in the future.

Three sections of ethical principle Magna Carta, originally signed in 1215 and a landmark in the development of English law, are still extant, but they date to the reissuing of the law in 1297.

Many jurisdictions which were formerly subject to English law continue to recognize the common law of England as their own - subject, of course, to statutory modification and judicial revision - and decisions from the English Reports continue to be cited from time to time as persuasive authority in present day judicial opinions.
