What is the definition of customary law?
A general definition would be… A traditional common rule or practice that has become an intrinsic part of the accepted AND expected conduct in a community, profession, or trade and is treated as a legal requirement. A law which is accepted because the majority of individuals recognize the benefits of behaving accordingly with the groups expectations.
