What Is LAW

If you ask a group of randomly


selected individuals What is Law?
each one will come up with a
different answer. But most people will
agree that law is, at the basic level, a
set of rules which a community is
governed by.
SOURCES OF LAW
The sources of law and their relative
importance will vary in different legal
systems. However legislation, the
decisions of the higher courts or case-
law, and custom are accepted in many
countries as sources of law.

Roman-Dutch law
When the Dutch conquered Sri Lanka in 1656
they brought with them their laws, which
were derived from the Roman law. Hence the
name Roman-Dutch law, since after its
arrival in the Netherlands the Roman law
British law
Thereafter the British arrival in 1796 and Entire
Island passed into British hands by 1815. According
to British law when a colony is ceded (handed over
by the previous rules to the British, as in the case
of Sri Lanka) the laws of the colony as they were,
continue to be in force, until later changed.

CONTINUE.
Reasonable expectations
A standard form contract is a contract
between two parties, where the terms and
conditions of the contract are set by one of
the parties, and the other party has little or
no ability to negotiate more favorable
terms and is thus placed in a "take it or
leave it" position.

intention to create a legally binding
