Abstract

The aim of this article is to demonstrate that the law of the Church of England constitutes a part of the English legal system. This thesis is confirmed by the way this law is adopted, by the commentaries and by the jurisprudence of the English courts, and even of the European Court of Human Rights. The most characteristic legal act, the measure, is presented in terms of the legislative process and the scope of application, on the examples given.
