"Mr President, there is a fundamental problem for the two common law countries in the EU when they integrate with the rest. It is nobody’s fault, nobody has set out to conspire to make this the case, it is simply that there is a fundamental incompatibility between the judicial model that pertains across most of the European Union – the Roman law or Bonapartist model, where a law is written down from first principles and then applied to specific cases – and the rather anomalous, almost miraculous emergence of a system where it was never written down in abstract terms but the law grew like a coral, case by case, coming across new circumstances with each new judgment.
Quite understandably, the European Union favours the prevalent model that pertains across most of its Member States when it is drawing up its own corpus of jurisdiction. It is simply that this leaves us in the awkward position of always being the ones who have to change more than the other Member States and that, fundamentally, is why we are always the odd ones out."@en1
