Wales. Hierarchical structure of English legal system allows supreme court to make crucial
decisions on big matters. It also enables supreme tribunal to pass quick judgement for
implementing legislation in order to provide benefit to people or organisation operating in the
country. This legislative system has its own courts. The thing that make this legal system
different from the other legal system is that it does not have unified code but this system has
certain system which supports magistrate in supreme court to make important decisions.
