Eugen Ehrlich is a well-known Jurist of sociological school of jurisprudence. Which one of the following statements may not be attributed to the theory propounded by him?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Ehrlich held that "Law is derived from social facts", that "Law depends on social compulsion" and that "There is a 'living law' underlying the formal rule of the legal system", arising independently of the State, so the claim that "State law has significant influence on shaping and development of living law" cannot be attributed to him.
