------------------------------

Common law changes with society, so can statue. Common law changes with society because judges/mag take into consideration current social climate when making decisions, and therefore a precedent.

Personally I put B, but it appears there is more agreement with C.

Judges have the ability to make laws.

With regards to 13, common law is changed, in a sense, when a more recent common law precedent is made that contradicts the older one. Thus common law can change it self.

no because the jury decides the guilt or not guilty of the offender... you are guilty or not guilty, not innocent

... I put B for 14. Denying him his economic rights, right?

Like isn't C, legal, too general? They say ANOTHER country, country X, you don't know whether or not the right to be a member of a trade union is enforceable by law wherever 'chris' is.

Definitely not A, don't think it was D either.

Q2 says which of the following is NOT a widely recognised element of human rights.. does that mean which is completely not an element of human rights.. for example b.. culturally specific.. or does it mean which is not widely known that it is actually an element?all the questions become tricky after u read them a few times..

I was told by a Legal Senior Marker at my school that 14 was (B) and 15 (D). But she hadn't had the paper that long. Still, torts are definitely, and as the question states, commonly, both public and private; my textbook says it too.

isnt tort privvate law? thats what my notes say :s

Tort can be private, but at the same time public. Example I was told by Senior Marker was Industrial Manslaughter, which is a criminal tort of negligence.
