| | Civil law (legal system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The civil law is based on Roman law, especially the Corpus Juris Civilis of Emperor Justinian, as later developed through the Middle Ages by mediæval legal scholars. | | | The original difference is that, historically, common law was law developed by custom, beginning before there were any written laws and continuing to be applied by courts after there were written laws, too, whereas civil law develops out of the Roman law of Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis. | | | The Scottish legal system is usually considered to be a mixed system in that Scots law has a basis in Roman law, combining features of both uncodified and Civil law systems. |

| | Delict - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Delict is a concept of civil law which is used to some degree in many civil law legal systems. | | | In the most narrowly construed sense, delict is a French word and a legal term, which, in some civil law systems, signifies a wilfull wrong, similar to the common law concept of tort though differing in many substantive ways. | | | However, due to the large number of civil law systems in the world, it is hard to state any generalities about the concept. |

| | William Tetley, Mixed jurisdictions: common law vs civil law (codified and uncodified) (Part I) |
| | Civil law jurisdictions often have a statute law that is heavily influenced by the common law. | | | Civil law may be defined as that legal tradition which has its origin in Roman law, as codified in the Corpus Juris Civilis of Justinian,[20] and as subsequently developed in Continental Europe and around the world. | | | French civil law adopts Montesquieu's theory of separation of powers, whereby the function of the legislator is to legislate, and the function of the courts is to apply the law. |
