Scots Law can be substantially different from that of England and Wales, or Northern Ireland, both in procedure and structure, and content. The differences are most marked in the areas of property law, criminal law, and family law. Commercial and taxation law are more similar. There are also areas of legislation which are common to all the nations of the United Kingdom - such as immigration, human rights, and EC directives.
