England and Wales are two countries within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which have had a unified legal system since the Laws in Wales Act 1535-1542 that came into force under Henry VIII. The maritime tradition is deeply embedded in the history of England.

Due to this strong maritime tradition and the presence of international maritime organisations, the laws of England and Wales (hereinafter referred to as ‘English law’) are nowadays still dominant in the maritime industry. The importance of English law in the maritime field makes it appropriate to also include this jurisdiction in the comparative study and assess the attractiveness of English law and the common law system in general for the judicial sale of a ship. This chapter will only discuss English laws and will leave out Scottish law and the laws of Northern Ireland.
