 Common law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In England, courts of law and equity were combined by the Judicature Acts of 1873 and 1875, with equity being supreme in case of conflict.
The common law, as applied in civil cases (as distinct from criminal cases), was devised as a means of compensating someone for wrongful acts known as torts, including both intentional torts and torts caused by negligence, and as developing the body of law recognizing and regulating contracts.
The type of procedure practised in common law courts is known as the adversarial system; this is also a development of the common law.

 Articles - Law of Australia
Laws passed by the Parliament of Australia, and common law made by federal courts (such as the High Court of Australia) are federal laws, and apply to the whole of Australia.
The law of Australia consists of the Australian common law (which is based on the English common law), federal laws enacted by the Parliament of Australia, and laws enacted by the Parliaments of the Australian states and territories.
When the High Court of Australia was established in 1903, it began to develop a body of federal common law, relating to areas in which the High Court has original jurisdiction (for example, matters involving international treaties, or cases where the Commonwealth of Australia is a party).
