Pursuing adaptation in a nation that practices civil law would most likely be less costly and time-consuming because of the lack of room for arbitrary interpretation of the law. A civil law system is based on a detailed set of written rules and statutes that constitute a legal code. Civil law can be less adversarial than common law because there tends to be less need to interpret what a particular law states. Because all laws are codified and concise, parties to contracts tend to be more concerned only with the explicit wording of the code. All obligations, responsibilities, and privileges follow directly from the relevant code. Less time and money are typically spent, therefore, on legal matters.
