Common law is a system of law based on...


A.
the practices of the poor people.


B.
what the king accepted as the common standard.


C.
laws enacted by the parliament each year.


D.
rulings by judges in previous cases.



Answer :

The correct answer is D.

Common law is the body of law derived from court decisions which set a precedent and, hence, the resolutions contained in them are registered and will operate in subsequent cases.

In fact, under common law, if a new case arises which resembles a previous decision, the court will be bounded to solve it by using the previous ruling. On the contrary, if the court considers that the present dispute is different from prior ones and that it constitutes a "matter of first impression" then judges have to solve the issue without using precedents.

Answer:

The answer is : D -- [ rulings by judges in previous cases. ]
