Question

Who made the following statement?
"Large part, and as many would add the best part of law of England is judge-made law, that is to say, consists of rules to be culled from the judgments of the courts."

A.

Dicey

B.

Lord Denning

C.

Bacon

D.

Bentham

Correct option is A

A. V. Dicey is best known for highlighting the central role of judge-made law (common law) in the English legal tradition and formulating the modern concept of the Rule of Law. In his famous work “Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution” (1885), Dicey emphasized that English law was largely created by judicial decisions rather than by legislative acts. He saw judicial precedents as the backbone of legal development and emphasized that courts protect individual liberties more effectively than statutes.

Information Booster:

Judge-made law (Common Law): In England, courts historically developed the body of law based on precedents rather than relying solely on legislative enactments.

Rule of Law (Dicey's Concept):
• Supremacy of regular law over arbitrary power.
• Equality before the law (no one is above the law).
• Predominance of individual rights secured through court decisions.
