“Justice, making of law, is such a fundamental need,
so that a country and a nation cannot live without it even for a single day”
Ilia Chavchavadze[1]
Effective system of justice represents a fundamental prerequisite for reinforcing legal system and legal security[2]. The work with regard to using the law is conducted by the governmental bodies and the courts. At the same time, while detecting legal deficiencies, courts intend to eliminate the problems. Legal issues are being detected in the process of applying the law, in which the judge-made law takes its special place, providing the fact that, real possibilities to detect and eliminate the deficiencies in legal norms by explaining them, is in the hands of the courts[3].
According to the prevailing opinion in the countries of Roman-German legal system, judge-made law is not considered to be “deserving” of granting the predicate of the “source of law” and it does not have binding force in connection with law[4]. Despite this consideration, there is a controversy in the legal literature regarding this matter.
The purpose of present article is to discuss the judge-made law, as a source of law and to demonstrate the role of the court in the process of solving of legal issues and developing the law. While settling these issues this article provides logical analysis, it represents informational-perceptual aspects of the issue and discusses judicial practice.[1] Chavchavadze I., Complete Collection of Compositions (20 Volumes), Vol. 13, Tbilisi, 2007, 62.
