Answer:

This statement is FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Civil law is based on certain laws that are organized in codes. When law courts interpret civil law, they consider these specific codes. They do not use tradition, precedent and custom. This is why a civil law system is less flexible, since the judges rely upon the details of the codes and the do not interpret further than that.
