Talk:Custom (law)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

custom(law) is a thing that tells you what kind of laws there are in Togo. The laws aren't that stricked. You can get away with almost anything.

[edit] This article disagrees with itself

"In any case, it is hard to find any practically relevant examples. In the Scandinavian countries customary law continues to exist and has great influence."

Which is it? Relevant or not? If you're going to edit these things, make sure you fix it so it isn't directly contradicting something else in the article.

I am not qualified to select which one is correct. Someone who is please take care of this. Andy Christ 19:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Done, to some degree. The Merryman book is really good for civil law tradition stuff, especially if you're from a common law tradition state. I was reluctant to take out the bit the previous contributor included about Austrian private and public law scholars, but figured the general was better than the specific and uncited in this case.

I did leave the bit about Scandinavian states because Merryman notes that theirs is a separate tradition from both civil and common law and I really have no idea if the statement is true or not. At the very least, however, it appears that the statement does not contradict the rare use of custom in civil law tradition states.IMHO (talk) 22:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
