		The common law, as applied in civil cases (as distinct from criminal cases), was devised as a means of compensating someone for wrongful acts known as torts, including both intentional torts and torts caused by negligence and as developing the body of law recognizing and regulating contracts.

		The issue is one of law if the defendant denies that the alleged acts are a violation of substantive law entitling the plaintiff to relief; it is one of fact if the defendant denies committing any of the alleged acts.
		Rigorous enforcement of the rule “no writ, no right,” and the small number of available writs acted to deny relief even in meritorious cases and stimulated the growth of equity, which, in its early days, gave redress generously.
		The way was led by the New York code of civil procedure of 1848 (largely the work of David Dudley Field), which abolished the distinction between law and equity (thereby effecting great simplification) and established the cause of action as the procedural cornerstone.

		This Act empowered the Colonial legislature to declare any court of unlimited civil jurisdiction, whether original or appellate, to be a Colonial Court of Admiralty and to provide for the exercise by such Court of its jurisdiction, and to confer upon any inferior or subordinate court a partial or limited admiralty jurisdiction.
		The Judicature Act by section 13 (2) then provided as follows: "The admiralty jurisdiction vested in the High Court shall be as provided by law for the time being in force".
		The submission that the preamble to this Act is relevant to construe the words in section 13(2) of the Judicature Act as recognising an existing substantive law is untenable, as there was no written law at this time relating to admiralty jurisdiction which needed to be amended or consolidated.

		The Sale of Goods Act [s.59(2)] is clear: it is idle to suggest that Chalmers and the Law Lords on the Select Committee used “the rules of the common law” other than technically.
		The argument that it does rests on the Judicature Acts, but equity never claimed jurisdiction in sales of goods.
		I think the answer lies in [s59(2)] which says ‘common law’, that is, law administered in the Common Law courts prior to the Judicature Acts.
