PART AQuestion 1(b)The foreign legal system which would be analysed for the presence for Hart’s components of alegal system is India. Also, comparison with Australia is drawn and the result highlighted.Rule of RecognitionAccording to Hart, there need to be week defined source for legal authority so as to avoidambiguity in this regards. For the Indian legal system, there are essentially four main sources.One is the statute law which essentially comes into frame based on the laws enacted by therepresentatives of the people. Another is the constitution which outlines the broad legalframework as desired by the constitution framers. Besides, case law serves as an importantsource especially for the lower courts which need to follow the judicial precedents set by thehigher courts. Besides, certain laws based on custom and traditional values are also prevalent1. In comparison, Australia has also four main sources with three overlapping with that of India.The only different source law is common law which essentially is also adhered to in India asjudicial decisions tend to consider the common law owing to common British legacy. Thus bothcountries tend to have defined authority which acts as sources of law. Rule of ChangeLaws are not static and hence there needs to be a set procedure in relation to changing thelaws of the land.

Besides, disputes regarding the constitution interpretation are decided by the SupremeCourt as it is considered to be the interpreter. Besides, the judicial system, there areadditional mechanisms (for instance. Administrative tribunals) which also play an active rolein adjudication3. Australia also has a comparable system of courts along with other mechanism includingadministrative tribunals. The hierarchical structure is similar and well –defined. Thus, theAustralian court system provides an effective resolution mechanism for different disputes thatcan be resolved in an amicable and timely manner.
