Consuetudinary

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 3: Catarrh to Dion, p. 437

Consuetudinary or CUSTOMARY LAW is an unwritten law established by usage and derived by immemorial custom from remote antiquity. When universal, it is called common law; when particular, it is called custom in a narrower sense, as the custom of a trade or of a district. See CUSTOM, COMMON LAW.
