Branches of law in Great Britain
Law can be divided into two main branches: private law and public law. Private law deals with the rights and obligations that people have in their relations with one another. Public law concerns the rights and obligations that people have as members of society and as citizens. Both private law and public law can be subdivided into several branches. Private law can be divided into six major branches according to the kinds of legal rights and obligations. These branches are: contract and commercial law, tort law, property law, inheritance law, family law, and company law.
Contract and commercial law deals with the rights and obligations of people who make contracts. A wide variety of business activities depend on the use of contracts. A tort is a wrong that a person suffers because of someone else’s action. The action may cause bodily harm or damage a person’s property, business, or reputation. Property law governs the ownership and use of property. Inheritance law concerns the transfer of property upon the death of the owner. Family law determines the legal rights and obligations of husbands and wives and of parents and children. It covers such matters as marriage, divorce and adoption. Company law governs the formation and operation of business corporations or companies. It deals with the powers and obligations of management and the rights of shareholders.
