15Copyright Guy Harley 2004
What is ‘Law’? A definition: A set of rules which citizens must obey
or else suffer a penalty More complex in reality as the ‘rules’ are affected by
social, economic, political and international considerations
Law regulates our everyday lives as well as when we are engaged in business
Looking at the various classifications of law can help us understand how law affects us
![Page 16: Copyright Guy Harley 2004 1 Guy Harley Bachelor of Law (University of Adelaide – 1978) Barrister and Solicitor in Adelaide for 18 years Master of.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649dd35503460f94acb490/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16Copyright Guy Harley 2004
Basis of Law
Jurisprudence Giving a wise interpretation to the laws and making a
just application of them to all cases as they arise. Judging the same questions in the same manner
Natural Law standards of conduct derived from traditional moral
principles and/or God's law and will
Legal Positivism the rule of law amounts simply to regular compliance
with clear, general and validly enacted rules

Sources of Law The law which might govern a transaction or an
offence can be found by consulting: common law equity statutes delegated legislation custom international law
![Page 18: Copyright Guy Harley 2004 1 Guy Harley Bachelor of Law (University of Adelaide – 1978) Barrister and Solicitor in Adelaide for 18 years Master of.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649dd35503460f94acb490/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18Copyright Guy Harley 2004
Common Law The oldest source of law Developed over centuries in England by judges Relies on the Doctrine of Precedent supported by
Law Reports Eventually two strands evolved: common law and
equity Equity prevails over inconsistent Common Law
![Page 19: Copyright Guy Harley 2004 1 Guy Harley Bachelor of Law (University of Adelaide – 1978) Barrister and Solicitor in Adelaide for 18 years Master of.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649dd35503460f94acb490/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19Copyright Guy Harley 2004
Legislation Law made by Parliament and bodies it delegates to STATUTES or ACTS contain the broad policy and
are debated in Parliament Sometimes the Act will delegate power to another
body eg Governor, Minister, Council to pass more detailed rules
These are called DELEGATED LEGISLATION and can take the form of Regulations, Ordinances etc.
![Page 20: Copyright Guy Harley 2004 1 Guy Harley Bachelor of Law (University of Adelaide – 1978) Barrister and Solicitor in Adelaide for 18 years Master of.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042717/56649dd35503460f94acb490/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20Copyright Guy Harley 2004
Legislation (Cont.) Legislation overrides inconsistent Case Law However one important role of Judges is to interpret
ambiguous legislation There is continuing debate about who should ‘make’
the law: only Parliamentarians as elected representatives of the people? BUT the precedent system historically has enabled judges to develop the law in new directions. Negligence law is a good example.
