in other words due to the importance of statute law is it inaccurate for us to describe the english and northern irish legal system as a common law legal system?
No, because common law statutory interpretation is different from classical codified systems, and is still used here. In theory, codified, roman systems interpret *from the statute* in every case, not relying on previous decisions they was common law does.

Bill Hancock, the BCS executive director, made the assurance in a Feb. 4, 2010, memo to the group's presidential oversight committee after the Obama administration said it was considering several steps to review the legality of the BCS.

He wrote it in response to a Jan. 29, 2010, letter the Justice Department sent to Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican and BCS critic who had asked for a DOJ investigation to determine if the BCS violated antitrust laws.
