Talk:United Kingdom administrative law

[Untitled]
Does somebody know, why is English administrative law separate from Scottish law? I would have thought (I haven't studied the subject) that public law is all UK based. Can anyone say what the divisions are? Different case law, etc?  Wik idea  17:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

I would imagine that this would have something to do with the Act of Union 1707 and the history of the different legal systems. Scotland, unlike Wales, retained its own legal system after incorporation into the United Kingdom after the Act of 1707. Scottish criminal law, for instance, is similarly different (and quite markedly so at times) from English criminal law. Juice07 (talk) 15:24, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
