The common laws of England and Scotland are still extremely important in UK law. The only areas where they are not in force are where one of the UK Parliament, the Scottish Parliament or the EU has legislated to overrule it (this position is the same as it was over a hundred years ago - it's just that lots more law is created today than was then).
Certainly, of course. But this is one area where Parliament has seen fit to change things.
