This article is a revised version of an address given at the Annual General Meeting of the Stair Society on 6 November 1999. It explores three issues relating to the use of the Civil Law in Scotland. The first is the distinction to be drawn between Roman Law and the Civil Law and the use that can be made of the Civil Law as distinct from Roman Law. The second is the issue of reception of another legal system, the reception of the Civil Law in Scotland in particular, and the countervailing influence of English law. The third is the place of Roman Law and the Civil Law in legal education in Scotland.

Mr President of the Society, Secretary of the Society, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me great pleasure to inaugurate the Third Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists (PSDE). I am happy to note that, within only four years of its existence, the Society has become one of the most important national forums for discussing economic and demographic issues relating to Pakistan's economy and has attracted to its fold a large number of social scientists from all over the world. The first and second Annual General Meetings of the Society, held in the last two years, have already generated a substantial body of relevant knowledge about development economics and Pakistan's economy. I am sure that the third meeting will be even more fruitful in this respect.

Constitutional System

The Republic of Austria is a federal republic, divided into nine states (‘Bundesländer’), which have legislative competences of their own. The judiciary is considered to be the third pillar of the Austrian constitutional system, together with legislation and administration; the doctrine of a separation of powers, judiciary, and administration (executive) means that they are separated in all instances. Austria is a civil law country; its legal system is based on Roman law.
