Bus/Financial - Law: Taxation & Customs / common-law countries
English term or phrase: common-law countries
Buenos días,

Espero que puedan ayudarme con un término al español que me confunde un poco: “common-law countries” en comparación con “French-civil-law countries”. ¿Sería algo así como “países de leyes consuetudinarias” y ”países de leyes civiles de origen francés”? Espero que puedan ayudarme con esta duda. Muchas gracias

“The paper shows that common-law countries generally have the strongest, and French- civil-law countries the weakest, legal protections of investors, with German- and Scandinavian-civil-law countries located in the middle. We also find that concentration of ownership of shares in the largest public companies is negatively related to investor protections.”

Reference information:
El derecho anglosajón (o Common Law) es el sistema jurídico derivado del sistema aplicado en la Inglaterra medieval y que es utilizado en gran parte de los territorios que tienen influencia británica. Se caracteriza por basarse más en la jurisprudencia que en las leyes.
