Hints Common Law Roman law
The Common Law is historically the common general law -- with supremacy over local law--which was decreed by the itinerant judges of the English royal court. The enforcement of a claim presupposed the existence of a special form of action, a writ, with the result that the original common law represented a system of "actions" similar to that of classical Roman law.
普通法在歷史上是普通綜合法，由英國皇家法院的巡回法官作出的，地位高于地方法。某項訴訟請求的強制執(zhí)行是以法院令狀這以特殊訴訟形式存在為前提的，而這就是最初普通法表現(xiàn)的“訴訟行為”構成的體系，類似于古羅馬法。
