Even the heading is wrong.
You need to ask a European lawyer as US lawywers tend to ignore the principles of law in the non-british influenced part of the world.
What principle makes this different in Germany?
I am talking about the European law system. As far as I know, the UK is part of the EU and thus bound to the European law system. I cannot speak for the current UK law wich may or may not be in conflict with the EU. The US have a system that differs but the EU has twice as many inhabitants as the US and for this reason, it makes a lot of sense to look at Europe...
