British Law

British law is a system of rules and regulations that govern the country, devised through statutes (laws passed by Parliament) and common law (judgments by courts). Key principles include justice, fairness, and the rule of law, meaning no one is above the law. The legal system is divided into criminal law (dealing with offenses against the state) and civil law (relating to disputes between individuals or organizations). Courts interpret and enforce these laws, with the Supreme Court being the highest authority. Overall, British law provides the framework that maintains order, rights, and responsibilities within society.
