The English legal system plays a central role in many international disputes, offering a framework widely recognised for its stability, precedent-based rulings, and detailed procedures. Understanding how English law operates in an international context is crucial for legal professionals and business practitioners alike. One key aspect of English law is its reliance on the common law system, which uses judicial decisions as primary sources of law, in contrast to many other jurisdictions that follow civil law systems. This approach precedes previous court decisions, creating a reliable structure for contractual obligations, dispute resolution, and risk management in legal agreements.
