    I think this is what you mean...

    1. Supernational (European)
    2. Constitutional
    3. Statute
    4. Common Law

    The higher one overrules the other if there is a conflict, but the lesser law isn't always struck down

    I think this is looking for any easy answer to an academic assignment.

    Would it be very rude to say RTFM?

    It probably would. And I have asked lots of questions here myself.

    But if you want to learn, best off finding out for yourself.

    If you dont want to answer the question dont no need to be rude about it. Im sure there are a lot more helpful people out there than you. if you have nothing good to say keep your mouth shut

    Do unto others there Number13.

    A proper answer to your question would be the length of a well written academic article. SI's are subordinate to legislation but SI's often give effect to EU law which benefits from the doctrine of supremacy but which, in itself, has layers of law.

    Byrne & McCutcheon wrote an excellent book, well worth a read. I am sure it was on your reading list. Best of luck with the Legal Systems assignment.

    There's no correct answer to your question that is capable of being given in a reply to a post on a bulletin board.
