Answer:

Common

Explanation:

Common law is a set of laws established by judicial authorities based on past events. These are informal unwritten laws that courts are allowed to use if similar case arises. So decision can be taken based on precedent.

This is used if existing written laws are not enough to decide the fate of a case. It is at the discretion of the judge to interpret the precedent and apply in the current situation.
