Step-by-step explanation:

English law is the common law legal system of England and Wales, comprising mainly criminal law and civil law, each branch having its own courts and procedures...The common law includes both substantive rules, such as the offence of murder, and procedural ones, such as court procedure rules derived from the inherent jurisdiction of the court. Common law rules may be superseded or replaced by legislation, which is said to “trump” or take precedence over the common law.
