common law

Don’t ask me what is Common Law. Just find out at Wiki.

 

By the way, I want to know why we are using different Common Law in Malaysia?

In Peninsular we are using Common Law 7th April 1956.

In Sabah we are using 1st December 1951.

In Sarawak we are using 12th December 1949.

 

Can’t we choose one and use it for the whole Malaysia?  I want to ask the lecturer but the warning has been given in the module since it is not in the module scope.

statute?

I'm confuse about this:

Ordinance (before Independence 1946 - 1957) and Act (after Independence) which can be legislated by Parliament.
Enactment which can be legislated by Dewan Perundangan Negeri.

Those above are written law.

Laws that can be legislated known as statute.

So, are they statute?
