Would it be too odd to say 'burn all law reports to save our justice delivery system'? Mathews J Nedumpara   The common law, which we adopted by way of Article 372 of the constitution, is the very foundation of our legal system. Precedent, initially in the form of year books and later in the form of reported judgements is one of the major sources of common law, others being Roman law, statute and custom. The treaties of the laws of England by Chief Justice Coke in the 16th century, by Blackstone in the 17th century and by Halsbury in the 19th century...
