It is important to note, however, that the correlation between the Law and Morality is not always set in stone. For example some Laws appear to have no moral connection, but are rather more regulatory in function, such as certain traffic offences, and the prohibition of certain drugs, although some may argue that public health is a moral issue with which the Law is to concern itself.
Similarly, some moral issues have little to no legal backing. The moral concept that one should look after one’s neighbour is largely neglected within our Law – there is no obligation to help someone unless one has a duty to act, as in the case of Gibbons and Proctor, where the father of a child was convicted for not feeding the child, which was an omission, not an act.
