The common law approach in the United Kingdom (or, more precisely, in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland ) is one of particular legal remedies against particular infringements, and the rights are often developed by judges without the assistance of Parliament. To take a leading example from privacy law, the essentials of the law of confidence described in the well-known case of Prince Albert v. strangehad been asserted by judges in earlier cases, and the doctrine has yet to be restated by Parliament in any way (although the Law Commission has proposed that it be reformed and put into statutory form, and the government has indicated that it is now contemplating the introduction of such a statute).
