Basic Characteristics of Law and Definitions of Policy
Law:
1. Nature and Source: Laws are formal rules established by legislative
bodies (such as parliaments) or through judicial decisions (case law).
In South Africa, laws are derived from the Constitution, statutes,
common law, and judicial precedents.
2. Enforceability: Laws are legally binding and enforceable by the
state. Non-compliance can result in penalties, including fines,
imprisonment, or other legal consequences.
3. General Application: Laws apply universally within a jurisdiction,
affecting all individuals and institutions within that jurisdiction.
