hello there!
Yes, pretty much all commonwealth countries - and many more besides - share common law principles (in principle).
Statute laws, although, (in theory), never superseding common law, has in fact, taken precedence in modern judicial systems across the world. (from my understanding, and some pretty obvious observations) .
I'm not a lawyer.
I gave up that particular goal, (pre uni). I had conflicting morale issues with the system (me? conflicting issues with 'the system'?lol) .
Things such has having to swear allegiance to the courts (the crown) prior to ever defending anybody.
I had no desire to be part of that cesspit of a club.
There are many reports coming out about the 'mask wearing' and the potentially very harmful effects of increased CO2 levels because of the act.
Until there is a big reset in the judicial perspective - where common law becomes the 'defualt' setting- I have even less faith in the legal system, than I did when I was 17, (when taking my exams to then go into law. (I actually had a lawyer willing to employ me, when I'd passed - just based on my initial exam results - pre law degree! Obviously he must have been mentally ill.lol)
I hope you are well, matey!
