Different Sources of Laws
Secondary Sources such as journals, articles, legal websites, etc. and Primary sources such
as legislation, common law, and European Union law are used in the United Kingdom. The
primary sources are briefly discussed below.
Legislation
Under legislation parliament has been given power over passing laws in t h e form of
Legislature and acts. They involve proper process which has been prescribed under the
constitution. The process is called threading process in which detailed discussion about the
draught which has to be made as a law is been done. It is one of the most important source of law
since it provide first and information regarding any kind of law legislation that has been passed
or amended within our country like UK.
Common Law
As previously stated, the legal system of England and Wales is known as common law
(Knight, 2021). Courts have the authority to make law based on how a statute is understood. The
responsibility of the court is to clarify the text or wording of a law issued by the legislature.
Thus, in accordance with the doctrine of stare decisis, a court's interpretation of a statute is
obligatory throughout the legal system and on all lower courts.
European Union Law
As the United Kingdom is a member of the European Union, EU law prevails over
domestic law. In other words, the European Court of Justice's (ECJ) judgements are binding on
all UK courts. The parliament is bound by ECJ decisions, such as the decision to grant inmates
voting rights in exchange for their liberty.

The Impact of Business Laws on Potential Business
It is obvious that legislation is the primary source of law. The Parliament is the highest
legal governing authority (Thaman and Bachmaier, 2021). At first, parliament creates legislation
in the form of a bill. Members of Parliament (MPs) introduce the public bill, which affects the
general public. Private bills, on the other hand, are introduced by non-government MPs. The
House of Commons and the House of Lords are the two houses of parliament in the United
Kingdom. Before coming to the House of Lords, the bill goes through various stages and is voted
on by both chambers, after which it becomes an act after getting Royal Assent. The Common
Law refers to law that arises from judicial decisions, whereas Statutory Law refers to the
principles and standards of law that are established by statute.
The following are the three management approaches utilised by businesses:
 Legislation: a body that creates law.
 Regulations: rules established by the government or a regulatory agency. These are
required to carry out the law.
 Standards: These are government-established norms or standards that are used to assess
the effectiveness of the regulations or procedures formulated.
Company Law
Changes in business law have an impact as to how businesses are run. The 2006
Company Law governs rights, relationships, corporations, organisations, and businesses. The law
establishes legal guidelines for conducting business. Salomon Co. Ltd. v. Salomon Co. Ltd. The
concept of a separate legal entity was considered in 1879 (Kinski, 2021). The notion of ‘lifting of
veil’ in which the court peep inside business operations in order to provide a legal safeguard.
Additional rules help businesses avoid confrontations. These regulations assist firms in
understanding the processes that must be followed. It contributes to the continuation of the
business by paying taxes. To sustain ethical market practise, the rules and norms are upheld. To
eliminate negligence, a duty of care is required. It outlined the responsibilities of directors and
shareholders, as well as simplifying the firm formation process. As a result, the law ensures that
the business behaves in a lawful manner and fulfils the requirements for which it was
established.
Employment Law

The relationship between the employer and the employee is governed by employment
law. Employment legislation raises labour costs for businesses and adds to administrative
obligations. The United Kingdom has enacted a number of new laws covering minimum wages,
working hours, maternity leave, non-discrimination, and other issues. It even promotes a safer
working environment for its staff. Some of the most important pieces of law include the Equality
Act of 2010, the Employment Rights Act of 1996, and the Data Protection Act of 1998 (Elsayed,
2021). Because of their low administrative resources and economic vulnerability, these have a
favourable impact on local businesses.
Contract Law
Contract law aids in the proper formulation of agreements between parties. The
legislation aids in the formation and enforcement of agreements, as well as the provision of
remedies in the event of a breach. Every transaction in local company is governed by a contract,
and contract law aids in the enforcement and creation of these contracts by granting rights.
Further norms are upheld because the parties are obligated to fulfil their responsibilities without
breaking the law (Bedolla and Hosam, 2021). The contract law ensures that the fundamental
provisions are there and that the parties can conduct business with confidence.
