Law as a generalised notion
In this chapter, the term ‘law’ shall be understood as a general notion encompassing all legally binding norms (the general notion of law) that are reproduced through the sources of law. In turn, the sources of law are such predefned forms as particular laws, secondary legislation, and precedents as well as other sources of law, which are precisely predetermined and arranged in each legal system.
