While one might expect Scotland as a mixed legal system to be comparative in its approach, there is little evidence of this to be found in the courts. Foreign case law referred to by the courts tends to stem from other Anglophone countries. Apart from the ECHR, other foreign decisions are virtually absent from citations in Scottish courts. But the significance of comparative law, it is finally argued, cannot be measured by analysis of citations alone.
