Droit d'Angleterre et du pays de Gallesvignette|Le juge en chef Lord Coleridge en 1881. Le droit anglais est le système juridique qui prévaut en Angleterre et au pays de Galles, deux des quatre nations constitutives du Royaume-Uni formant une même juridiction au sein du droit britannique, connue comme Angleterre et pays de Galles (en anglais : England and Wales ; en gallois : Cymru a Lloegr).

Judicature ActsIn the history of the courts of England and Wales, the Judicature Acts were a series of Acts of Parliament, beginning in the 1870s, which aimed to fuse the hitherto split system of courts of England and Wales. The first two Acts were the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 66) and the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 77), with a further series of amending acts (12 in all by 1899).

Specific performanceSpecific performance is an equitable remedy in the law of contract, whereby a court issues an order requiring a party to perform a specific act, such as to complete performance of the contract. It is typically available in the sale of land law, but otherwise is not generally available if damages are an appropriate alternative. Specific performance is almost never available for contracts of personal service, although performance may also be ensured through the threat of proceedings for contempt of court.
Contrat en droit anglaisEn droit anglais, le contrat est une promesse ou un accord réalisé sur un ensemble de promesses. La rupture d'un contrat est reconnue par le droit, et des remèdes juridiques peuvent y être apportés. Le contrat consensuel (simple contract) est dominé par le principe de la consideration qui n'admet pas de contrat à titre gratuit. L'onérosité est ainsi un élément essentiel à la formation du contrat, pour laquelle il faut une contrepartie à une promesse, qu'il s'agisse d'un paiement ou d'une prestation réciproque.

Statute of UsesThe Statute of Uses (27 Hen 8 c 10 — enacted in 1536) was an Act of the Parliament of England that restricted the application of uses in English property law. The Statute ended the practice of creating uses in real property by changing the purely equitable title of beneficiaries of a use into absolute ownership with the right of seisin (possession). The Statute was conceived by Henry VIII of England as a way to rectify his financial problems by simplifying the law of uses, which moved land outside the royal tax revenue (i.
Use (law)Use, as a term in the property law of common law countries, amounts to a recognition of the duty of a person to whom property has been conveyed for certain purposes, to carry out those purposes. In this context "use" is equivalent to "benefit". Uses were equitable or beneficial interests in land. In early law a property owner could not dispose of his estate by will nor could religious houses acquire it.
Tribunal ecclésiastiqueUn tribunal ecclésiastique est, en droit canonique, un tribunal organisé par l'Église pour juger des affaires qui relèvent de son fonctionnement (discipline, sacrements...). Un fidèle de base ne connaît guère le tribunal ecclésiastique qu'à travers son intervention dans les demandes de nullité de mariage religieux (un mariage religieux peut être déclaré nul, mais ne peut subir une annulation), traitées au niveau local (diocésain, ou inter-diocésain) par l'Officialité.
Delaware Court of ChanceryThe Delaware Court of Chancery is a court of equity in the American state of Delaware. It is one of Delaware's three constitutional courts, along with the Supreme Court and Superior Court. Since 2018, the court consists of seven judges.
