1. Background

Every legal argument rests on authority — the sources of law an argument is anchored to, chiefly legislation (statutes, regulations, directives in effect) and case law (past court decisions). In common-law systems, past decisions may be a ‘binding’ precedent; civil-law and EU systems lean on codified law but still rely on prior rulings for interpretation. Either way, an argument only holds if the authority it rests upon is still in force.
