The LAW
Although the United Kingdom is a unitary state, England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own legal systems and law courts. There is substantial similarity on many points, but considerable differences remain in law, organization and practice. In Northern Ireland procedure closely resembles that of England and Wales but there are often differences in enacted law. However, a large volume of modern legislation applies throughout the United Kingdom and there is a common distinction between criminal law, concerned with wrongful acts harmful in the community, and civil law, concerned with individuals' rights, duties and obligations towards one another.
The main sources of law are legislation, common law and European Community law. Legislation consists of Acts of Parliament, Orders (rules and regulations made by ministers under the authority of an Acts of Par¬liament) and by-laws made by local government or other authorities ex¬ercising powers conferred by Parliament.
