A Catholic View of the Common Law System | Jamie Bogle

In this wide-ranging presentation Col. Jamie Bogle examines the thesis that the Common Law is 'connatural with Christendom'. He covers: the interaction between Canon Law and Civil Law; the fractures opened up by the Protestant Revolution; the subjectivisation of the English Constitution; judicial precedent, statutes, natural law; juries; the concept of a trust and the concept of equity. Other topics include: the denaturalisation of Civil Law by the Code Napoleon; Feudalism and land law; Georgism and the Single Land Tax system; James II and the 'Glorious Revolution'; the Nineteenth Century Common Law and revival of Christianity. Finally, he looks at the troubling contemporary direction of the Common Law with the trojan horse of Human rights-based law seeping into English duty-based law.
