Custom

 Custom -

It is one of the source of law but it is rejected by the English jurists 

Savigny - approved custom but not Austin.

Reasonable  the usage of custom law must be reasonable 

Not because it has prevailed for so long if unreasonable will be replaced by statutory law.

Immemorial time 

How for man remembers the origin of custom is the question 

If the custom has been in practise for more than centuries it is unquestionably law anywhere between 12 and 19 century 

If it traced its origin before 20 years then  it is a question of dispute.

In line with statutory law

The recent customs should be Adjusted to Current statutory laws otherwise it will be replaced that is why a lot of custom

As been abondoned because the people who practise left it alone.

Necessity 

Custom why popular

Since it is the law that existed before statutory 

It is the law of the society rather than the state. 

Custom and prescription 

The inheritance of land from Father to son and so on is futon

Prescription is part or custom

The right which a man posses pass on to his son 

Custom is law and prescription is right .
