How the law is made

Laws are formulated in statutes/legislations and then accepted by parliament or by precedent (by a judge) based on similair factors in earlier cases compared to current cases.

By similair factors I mean matching like facts based on material facts (eg. what happened, where, how, what lead up to it?).

Courts are divided into multiple categories:

• The supreme court has the highest value and sets the precedence for other lower level courts. The supreme court is not restricted to its own past decisions, it can come up with a different ruling from one its made in the past.
• Higher Court
• Appeals Court
