Sources Of Nigerian Law<\/p>\n

According to Frank in his book, The General Principles of English Law <\/em>(1975): \u201cWhen we talk about the sources of law we may be referring to one of two things. We may be thinking in the first place of where rules of law may be found, such as law reports, copies of Acts of Parliament, law text-books, and other written material. On the other hand, the search for the sources of law may lead us to investigate from where law comes \u2013 that is to say, where and how the legal rules which to-day govern our conduct originated. It is in this latter meaning that we shall be discussing the sources of English law. The main sources of English law in this sense are: (a) Common law; (b) Equity; (c) Legislation; (d) Law Merchant; (e) Custom.\u201d [1]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
