    Common law refers to law developed by judges through decisions of courts and similar judicial bodies, rather than statutes adopted through the legislative process or regulations issued by the executive branch. The common law in the UK established that European Union law takes precedence over conflicting national laws due to the principles of supremacy and direct effect established by the European Court of Justice in a series of rulings, meaning that member states cannot pass or maintain laws that contradict the treaties of the EU.
