The law of Bermuda is based on the common law legal system of England and Wales. ==Sources of Law== * The law of England and Wales as it stood in 1620 - of all kinds: common law, equity and statute - became the law of Bermuda at that time, and it remains so to the extent that other sources have not changed it. * The Parliament of Bermuda enacts statutes on all domestic legal issues. * Bermuda has a body of delegated legislation. * Precedents established in Bermuda courts are binding on equal and lower courts. * Precedents established in the courts of England and Wales have force in Bermuda to the extent that they are "on-point". This is an issue because Bermuda statute law and England and Wales statute law are usually different. A particular example of this has arisen since the implementation of the Woolf reforms in England and Wales in 1998, since they do not apply in Bermuda. The effect has been that case law on Bermuda court procedure, except local case law, has stagnated since that date. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Law of Bermuda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
