The legal system evaluates standards, sets guidelines, and implements them per the requirements. Government imposes the constitution, structured hierarchy, judiciary, and appointments to maintain the restrictions and other requirements. Controlling all the activities following justice courts ensures all are going in the right direction. This paper evaluates the role of the UK government in law-making, elaboration, reform and development activities.
Legal systems of the UK
Three separate legal systems are followed in the UK England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Each legal system is maintained and evaluated through laws following the historical process. The UK has an unwritten constitution without a single word for individual citizens and government activities. The shape is comprised of diverse sources that are written, and others are constitutional conventions. Parliament in the unitary constitution in Westminster holds superman law-making authority. However, since 1999, Cardiff and Belfast have been the two diverse power processes from the Westminster parliament. The parliament in Westminster grants various law-making leaders the powers. Non-legal and unwritten sources of the constitution are the constitutional conventions, which set up the rules of behaviour.
Different sources of law
Legislation: Statute law is also considered legislation and applied in the UK's written laws. Acts of parliament are often referred to as UK legislation, but in the broad sense, the legislation includes laws related to the Acts of Parliament. Enacted or Consolidated is the part of the UK legislation process that requires an up-to-date approach, historical or the law at a particular time.
Case law: Judge mainly made the case law that forms the doctrine in the English legal system. Different reports are published in the case law and citing the report in the court is required in the most authoritative version per the accepted law hierarchy. Law reports, weekly law reports, and all England law reports are part of the case law. Different unreported cases do not appear in the law report series or are referred to as unreported cases.
Role of UK government in law-making
Law making process starts with the bill proposal, where laws are introduced into parliament. The bill was debated and later approved by the house of parliament and Royal Assent. Later on, the law is implemented and considered an act. Any member of parliament can introduce a bill and agree as per government policy. Parliament by misters are known as Private members bills or Private peers bills.
Each law follows the legislative program where bills are asked to be considered and maintained accordingly before passing. However, some emergency bills on particular issues can arise and be introduced by a non-government member. Later the bill goes into the preparation stage to maintain the provision to be applied by Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland. Towards the introduction, the scene goes where a slot in the legislative program is specifically cleared for the introduction process by the PBL committee. The parliamentary stage begins in the house of Commons, with the first reading in the formal setting.
The second reading is the debate process, where principles of the bills are held in the chamber, and the government minister opens the debate by setting out the case of the bill and explaining provisions to maintain activities on the proper schedule. The third reading stage is the last before the bill becomes an act, which means the bill is amended in the second house.
Statutory: UK parliament made the statutory laws, which are introduced as either common or lords. When a bill has been agreed upon by the house of parliament and Royal Assent by the Monarch, they are considered an act and follows the legislative authority.
Common law: Rules of law developed by the courts, not the parliament, are the common laws. Common law systems are followed in English law, where judgments and decisions are made as per the primary source of the law.
Effectiveness of the legal system
There have been various changes in the last 15 years in the UK legal system. Labour administration and the coalition process's introduction made diverse institutional changes in the ministry of justice and replaced the department for constitutional affairs before the lord chancellors department. Judicial appointments commissions in 2006, following the legal professions and promotional process, innovated diverse activities. The supreme court 2009 was created in relation to the judicial functions of the house of lords. Moreover, the establishment of the national crime agency in 2013, replacing several other agencies, helped to ensure diverse activities in the right direction. Introduction of the family court, country court and international commercial disputes in 2015 allowed to maintain a continuous development process.
Potential implications
Legislation: Government makes sure a legislative program plans for the bills that consider in the sessions; they usually last longer (Drochon, 2018). Diverse bills are passed in each session that is not the main part of the legislative program. Private accounts are introduced by the member who is not part of the government. The legislation process goes through the proposal process of the bill that is included in the legislative programme for a session. Besides, the submission must follow all the bids and consider them through recommendation in the provisional consent of the programme.
Regulations: Government regulations evaluate business activities and set up roles to generate profit margin, economic efficiency, and employment possibilities. Regulations solve issues on any disputes or difficulties to maintain the business process. Following the principles, M and K Solicitors can support their business process in legal service activities.
Standards: Business standards help collaborate on the process and ensure the best consistency. Setting up customer standards helps raise the sales margin and support trading activities in diverse markets. The government maintains standards in the organisations' legislative or law implementation process.
Potential implications and law
Company law: Companies Act 2006 is the company law in the UK in part 15 under sections 380 to 474. The act sets up diverse requirements and preparation for distribution and maintaining accounting or report activities for the business framework. For example, the company act mainly determines all the company-related activities and forms the current and financial statements. For instance, M and K Solicitors follow Company Act 2006 to maintain their guidelines to others.
Employment law: The employment law maintains an effective relationship between employers and employees. Employees may not work more than 48 hours in a week following the working time directive and following the full working week. Employment rights Act 1996 covers the rights of employee situations such as dismissal, maternity or paternity leave, unfair dismissal, and redundancy. Employment law ensures employee rights and increases their overall performance.
Contract law: Employment contract law allows for maintenance agreements between employer and employee under different stations, responsibilities, employment conditions, and job responsibilities are the part of contract law that are required to be specific. Employees do their job as per the contract and make sure that all are performing in the proper process.
Evaluation of the legal system
Pros of the legal systems

Various disputes, business legislation, and other processes are required to keep in the right direction evaluated through legal systems. The reliable process maintains business activities and protection activities in a safe direction.

Cons of the legal system
Time-consuming: Going through the legal process takes higher time and money to make the right decision. Moreover, various restrictions and guidelines hamper continuous working activities.
Formation: Forming a business process significantly impacts the legal system. The changing business nature appears challenging to make the most effective decision.
Company implications, employment, and contract laws in the business were evaluated. Constitutional behaviour depends on the operational process, and they are not enforced by the law courts or by the presiding officers in the house of commons.
