The influence that the European Union currently has on the national civil legal systems is big. The UK passed the European communities act of 1972 making. The EU law directly applicable. This meaning that it is has a direct affect on the European Legal system without any other actions by the UK. It is also a forceable law that can be carried out by the UK. This influence is big because of the power it holds and that it can be directly applied to the legal system without any action being applied towards it. Making the influence overpowering some of the legal systems in the EU member countries.

!!What would be something opposite of this?!!
