Common Law a Easy Explanation

The easiest way to explain the English common law system and answer all questions in simple terms is as follows: Common law is the LAW and is the only law recognized in a lawfully capacity in England and all sovereign nations of HRH Elisabeth ll of England. Common law today is like a family tree. common law is made up of statute's, a statute is a specific part of common law i.e murder, theft, fraud. Acts are rules that Parliament links to statute's of common law however not all "Acts" are lawful and any Act passed by Parliament that dose not relate back to to common law is only enforceable by submission by verbal or written contract/assentto the authority of the party that holds you accountable or liable. Common law however does change to include new but specific offences but these must always relate to common law by LAW. Credit cards were not invented when common law was written as the law of the land in the 11th century, however Credit card fraud is a crime under an Act, this act relates to a specific statute of common law (theft) and is there for a criminal offence. On the other hand there is an Act which says you must pay for a t.v licence if you own a device capable of receiving live television. this act is not lawful unless you submit to a verbal or written consent or submission of will to the claimant as this Act only relates to common law if you have entered a contract or agreement it then become enforceable by Common law. Common law only adapts to include offences and rights that can be related and interpreted by common law its self. So yes the acting authority can take children into crown care if they have reason to believe that his or her life may be in any kind of danger under common law as every individual has the the right to life. Under common law you also have the right to have any dispute including this and all of the above settled and judged by a court of law.
