Law of New Shropshire
The law of New Shropshire is the body of legislation and regulations that governs the conduct of New Shropshire citizens.
Sources
The majority of New Shropshire law is codified in the New Shropshire Code (NSC). This is divided into statutes.
It is governed by the Constitution, adopted in 2002.
Legislation is passed by the New Shropshire Assembly, subject to approval by the Governor.
Courts system
New Shropshire has a very basic system, consisting of two courts:
- The Crown Court, which hears all cases at first instance
- The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which hears appeals from the Crown Court
New Shropshire is also jurisdiction of the Imperial Court of Judicature, but only for international cases.
Application
New Shropshire law is unique in that it, for the most part, only applies to:
- Citizens and nationals of New Shropshire, when in New Shropshire geographically
- Citizens and nationals of New Shropshire, when in New Shropshire chanceries
- Crown servants, when taking actions on behalf of the crown
Relationship with UK law
New Shropshire law is based on the law of the United Kingdom, which it still uses as secondary legislation. UK law is referred to where there is no applicable measure in New Shropshire law, but is always secondary to New Shropshire laws.
