Common Law
Ireland is one of the common law countries. Its legal system is characterized by its reliance on judicial decisions, which are often based on legally binding precedents. Common law is the origin of law; it is a legal system that has emerged from a long history of judicial decisions. Many aspects of common law are still in use in Ireland today, and the current trend is to convert the majority of laws into statutory law. In 1975, we established a Law Reform Commission tasked with reforming and updating outdated Irish laws. Many of the Commission's recommendations have been implemented in legislation.
As a member of the common law family, Ireland's legal system is characterized by its reliance on judicial decisions, which by virtue of the doctrine of precedent enjoy binding force of law. The common law, as a source of law, refers to a discernible body of law which has emerged from centuries of judicial decisions. While many areas of Irish law are still governed by common law rules, the current trend is towards putting most law on a statutory footing. In 1975, a Law Reform Commission was established with the task of reforming and modernizing outdated aspects of Irish law. Many of its recommendations have been implemented in legislation.
