    Just to clarify for certain people then,statutes codify the law.Common law interprets the statutes.They work together.

    I'm afraid you're not entirely right either ... you'll find that the offences of murder and manslaughter are contrary to common law. They are not set out in statute. As is also the case for the offence of doing acts tending and intended to pervert the course of justice.

    So, before you correct others, perhaps you should check your own statement?

    What, in the name of Martin Lewis does murder and manslaughter have to do with a wazzock planting broken glass on a path/doorstep?

    How these threads do wander!

    A full discussion is not needed.The point remains that common law and statutory law work together,rather well.Deciding that one is a load of rubbish -statutory-and lives in its own little solitary land meaning nothing(which seems to be what some think) isn't right.

    Nope try again! legislation does not codify law. LAW is independent of legislation. Thats where people start to get a bit confused. Don't worry I even started to get my history teacher confused it became complicated for her too.


    You first have to look At how the LAW was written and came about, you then understand why it is refer to as law, then to understand how legislation is brought about you have to know why we have birth certificates and why those were introduced along with the legal terminology of "Person" then go from there. Law will always sit above legislative statutes and acts, but as time has progressed many people think LAW and Legal are same. I learned to differentiate between the two in school and so class law as law and legislation as Legal/Illegal. I'm not a freeman of the land but I can see their side of the story from my perspective.

    can we get back to someone putting broken glass in a communal area? if its a 'communal' area, 'Someone' must manage it? and that 'Someone' should be informed. it will be in your paperwork who is responsible for the communal areas. This, as you say, is a dangerous and stupid thing to do. and whether its against the law or not - you don't want broken glass around your property. (and btw - the police told a neighbour of mine who wanted to put broken glass on the top of his eight foot wall - if it injured someone breaking in then they could sue him).
    I wouldn't confront this man again - he sounds like an idiot and possibly dangerous.

    No, they are a bunch of idiotic loons who have lost all grip on reality. They are almost certifiable with the stupid rubbish that they believe (falsely) to be true.
