Common Law Doctrine

Common Law Doctrine refers to a body of law developed through court decisions and judicial interpretations over time, rather than through legislative statutes. It is based on precedents established by previous court rulings, which judges follow to ensure consistency and fairness in legal outcomes. This means that if a similar case has been decided in the past, that decision will guide the current case. Common law evolves as new rulings are made, allowing it to adapt to changing societal values while maintaining continuity in legal principles.
