Commonlaw originally developed under an adversarial system in England from judicial decisions that were based in tradition, custom, and precedent.
The commonlaw, 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.
Statutes which reflect English commonlaw are understood always to be interpreted in light of the commonlaw tradition, and so may leave a number of things unsaid because they are already understood from the point of view of pre-existing case law and custom.
