Primary legal materials

Primary legal materials, such as Acts of Parliament, represent the law itself.

There are two significant types of primary legal material:

  • statute law (also known as legislation)
  • case law

Print versions of these materials are located in the LAWS section of the Western Bank Library e.g. Law Reports Appeal Cases LAWS 344.41072 LAW
