Parliamentary Sovereignty(zeehab)

Question 1

Parliamentary Sovereignty

Answer 1

Laws made by parliament have sovereignty over all other laws. This means that parliaments can either:
Enact statutes that endorse common law principles for example, the Mabo decision

Allow common law to govern certain aspects of society and pass statutes

Complementing or partially regulating areas of common law for example, negligence

Enact statutes overturning common law principles on the basis that they do not adequately or accurately reflect the values of society.
