Welsh Law, also known as Cyfraith Hywel, is a unique legal system that emerged from the ancient customs of Wales. It differs from both Common Law and Civil Law in that it emphasizes restorative justice, placing a greater emphasis on compensation and reconciliation rather than punishment. The law was created by the Welsh kings and princes to promote unity and order among the Welsh people, and is known for its complexity and adherence to precedent.
