Summary/Abstract: The article describes the common law system in terms of sources of law, in the British system, the term legislation being used to describe the statutes of Parliament and delegated legislation, and the formula case law to designate both common law and equity. Statute law or Acts of Parliament represents in the law system of Great Britain the equivalent of the laws adopted in the Romanian law by the Romanian Parliament, and the term delegated legislation describes all those rules adopted by authorities other than the Parliament of the United Kingdom, but under its authority. At the same time, it is characteristic of the British jurisprudential system to publish cases settled by the courts of law or to report them, this activity being carried out by lawyers, by a barrister or by a solicitor.
