ESSAY: Analysing the difference kinds of sources of law
A legal system is essential to execute the economic and environmental operations in a country.
The influence of laws and acts, is helpful in controlling the crime, unlawful acts in the nation. The main
motive is to facilitate the rule so the crime rate will be controlled by the legal authority. The fair
judgement will be presented to the cases which were heard in the courts. The legal solution will be
felicitated to the individuals which were made by the huge debates and discussions in the parliament.
There are various sources law which are enacted in the country and are helping in resolving legal issues.
UK has influences of various other countries such as European countries as well as they have their acts
and laws too (Sources of UK Law, 2017). In order to ascertain the rights and opportunities of such
individuals there is need to have proper control over the legal issues. Moreover, there are various sources
of law which will be beneficial for the European union and social Community.
Primary sources:
In order to resolve the various issues on initial level of operations. These are the mainly two kinds
of laws which are enacted by the parliament to facilitate the sufficient jurisdiction. However, these are
Common laws and legislations. The framework of legislation is denoted as making the judgement over
any issue with the help of proper laws and acts which were being made in the parliament of UK. Here, the
bill will be drawn and presented in the house of commons where the 1st and 2nd reading over such bill was
made (Huxley-Binns, Martin and Frost, 2017). There has been debated took place between in the
ministers of parliaments and then various amendments were made by them. It contains all the norms,
regulations, policies and actions which will be helpful in resolving the cases and facilitating the
satisfactory judgement over issues. On the other side the common laws are made as per the cases held in
the previous time (Fowler, 2017). The judgement will be based on the relevant cases which were held
before over the similar issues. It will be prompt and appropriate manner of resolving the cases as the
precedents will be treated as best example of such problem.
Secondary sources:
These are the sources which will be helpful to the professionals in terms of making the adequate
analysis over the cases. It helps in making the commentary and explanatory analysis which will be helpful
for analysis the backgrounds of statutes, case laws and primary legal solutions. However, here the study
has been made over the text books, Journals and the precedents which will be made by the legal
authorities in the country (Nariman, 2017). However, there will be influence of Custom laws, Cannon
Laws which are made by the legislatures to ascertain the legal solutions over various cases.
Delegated legislations:
These are the laws which are being presented by law-making powers which helps in making the
delegated legislations. The term parliamentary sovereignty can be used in here which will be helpful for

the parliaments to make changes in the previously existed laws and make new laws However, this
technique will benefit the legal system in UK as to have the sufficient changes in the acts to facilitate the
most satisfactory changes (Whitehouse, 2018). There will be constitution of new laws and acts with
various amendments and norms. Thus, it can be said that as the technology has variation in the day by day
basis there has been appropriate changes in the operations of legal system too. For example: Misuse of
Drugs Act 1971 has various changes as per the innovation of new drugs and technical advancement in the
operational practices of the medical sector (Dougan, 2017). Therefore, as to secure the society from the
loss of life there will be need of having the changes in the amendments and addition of new sections
Statutes:
These are the laws which were constituted by the parliamentary members in consideration with
making the proper use of acts and norms into operations. However, it will make sure that all the acts and
laws were presented into force are constructed on the basis of various observation, discussion, reading
and debates over it (Blake, 2017). It has been analysed by ministers from several states which represent
their vote in favour of against of such bill. Thus, after having approval from both the houses such as
House of Commons and Horse of Lords than the respected bill will be forwarded to the Royal Ascent. In
addition, these are the laws which has achieved high success than compared to common laws. Therefore,
there are various changes in the ongoing operations of the parliament (Huxley-Binns, Martin and Frost,
2017). There are various rules in this context such as golden rule, literal rules etc. therefore, these are the
approaches which makes it easy and adequate to interpret the laws and acts.
Case law or Common laws:
These are the laws and acts which were been facilitated bay the legislatures in UK as to make
prompt and accurate legal solution to any issues However, in relation with such obstacles it can be said
that such techniques will be helpful for the corporations and individuals in terms of having the most
profitable and fruitful analysis over any issues (Fowler, 2017). Here, the laws and acts were made by the
parliamentary judges as to consider the past acts and cases. It will help them in analysing the judgement
provided in such cases as well as the punishment and penalties were awarded there. There are various
serious issues which were held in the country environment such as robbery, rape, murder, fraudulent acts
etc. which are being resolved by the courts such as Supreme courts and various national or local level of
courts (Nariman, 2017). Thus, with the help of such laws and acts the Legislature will be beneficial in
terms of making the adequate judgements as well as making the use of such acts. There the legal
principles and jurisdiction will be developed by Judiciary that will be known as Decidendi which will be
inbound by the doctrine of precedent. These are the acts which are slow and rigid in terms of making the
changes into it, only till the supreme court will make necessary changes in such acts.
European law:
These are the laws which were build and developed by the European union as to protect the

European citizens which are living and working in UK. The main motive of such acts is to bring the
equality and securing the human rights for not only Europe residents but all the European countries
residents. There are influence of various EU treaties, derivatives, directives, regulation etc. which are
helping in securing the human rights of European citizens (Whitehouse, 2018). The EU community will
feel secure in terms of employment opportunities, living standards, prevention form racism, diversity etc.
these are the issues which bothers a person in terms of making the necessary efforts in attaining the life
goals. However, it may be a fruitful decision from the EU government but it might have impacts due to
Brexit. Thereafter, the need of having such laws and acts is arises as to have the equally employment
opportunities and life span of a person (Dougan, 2017). However, the introduction of such acts in UK due
to EU Community act 1972 which contains all the regulations and directives that will be beneficial for the
European citizens in domestic as well as in national level. It covers all the treaties such as Lisbon, Nice,
Amsterdam, European act, Brussels etc. are the main treaties which were being facilitated by the laws.
Therefore, the motive behind facilitating such laws is to secure the individual right and fair operational
practices of the European corporations in UK. It works as a shield over such individuals and bring them
straighten to fight for their rights and operations (Blake, 2017). However, it will be helpful for the entities
to have secure operations and better revenue gathering form the society.
Therefore, after analysing all the issues and regulations over such issues it can be said that UK
legal system contains all the regulations, norms and policies which are sufficient in resolving all the
issues and present the fruitful solutions to such issues. The help of parliamentary sovereignty, there has
been power and rights were allotted to the courts and legislature to make the necessary changes in the
laws and acts which will be beneficial presenting the fruitful legal solution to any case. The influence of
European union law which will be helpful in terms of preventing the rights and opportunities of the
European citizens (Huxley-Binns, Martin and Frost, 2017). There are various laws and acts which are
enacted by the parliament to support the European citizens as to have the favourable operations. The
enforceability of European union laws as per the various treaties and which are facilitating the fruitful
legal solutions to each issues.
