Former British colonies that have become independent vary in their reliance upon and reception of English law.[citation needed] The majority of jurisdictions have implemented reception statutes that receive the historical English law, prior to independence, into their legal systems,[1] in order to preserve legal continuity and retain the ability to draw upon an extensive and predictable body of law.[citation needed] Post-independence jurisdictions, with the notable exception of the United States, also generally allowed litigants to appeal to the Privy Council of the United Kingdom as an apex court, but most of these jurisdictions have abolished such rights in favour of a national supreme court.[citation needed]
