Antes, cuando todavía es un proyecto de ley ( bill), puede ser modificado tanto por la Cámara de los Comunes como por la de los Lores. Si ambas cámaras lo aprueban, se envía al monarca para que dé su aprobación ( Royal Assent), aunque esto es una mera formalidad. Tras ello la ley ya es oficialmente un Act of Parliament, y pasa a formar parte de la legislación británica, reemplazando cualquier ley consuetudinaria ( common law) que hubiera sobre ese asunto.See:see cultural note COMMON LAW in common* * *noun = American College Test
