None as the major influence in the English speaking world used English Common law whereas Scots law was originally based on a Civil Code law (the most widespread in the world today) such as Roman and Continental law but also has elements of common law from medieval times and case law. It is known as a pluralistic law system. Since it's union with England in 1707 while still keeping it's law separate legislation has been passed by Parliament in Westminster and since devolution certain legislation by the Scottish Parliament, European laws from the EU are also enacted.
The main types of Law are :-
- Common law - mostly based on English Common law in the US and former British Empire countries.
- Civil law - Civil codes such as the Napoleonic code also German and Scandinavian codes
- Religious - i.e. Islamic or Cannon Law
- A combination of the above - Pluralistic
The nearest equivalent to the Scots system would be South Africa which is a mixture of English Common law and Roman law with some custom law..
