Slavery Was Never Legalised By English Law
England, Somerset v Stewart, 1772
Somerset v Stewart legally affirmed that enslaved people were legally free upon arriving in England.
Somerset v Stewart, a court case in England, decided on 22 June 1772, that slavery was unsupported by English common law, setting a precedent that slavery could not be enforced on English soil.
Chief Justice Lord Mansfield said slavery was “so odious”, it could not be justified by custom or tradition.
Slavery was never legally recognised under English common law; a slave could not be removed from England, against their will.
