Common law claims means breach of contract, fraud and other claims that were imported into our legal system as a result of the common law that existed in England at the time our country was created, causes of action that were not created by statute in England. Common law claims are distinct from statutory claims, such as anti-trust claims. Statutory claims are or were created by our congress and did not come to us from the English common law. Hope this helps.
