Plucknet in Concise History of Common Law (1956) explains that the process of Reception had a great influence in English Law, mainly over the judges and its sentences. They where many whom support the process, since, they recognize its simplicity and its adequacy with Christian history. By way of example he describe the creation by Henry VIII of professorships in Oxford and Cambridge dedicated to such subject.

But, Pucket claim, that the Reception could not influence the Common law Courts, as they were impermeable to foreign influence. The common law courts and the common law system was the assurance to the landowner class of the continuity of their wealth. As they fear that the intricate process of inheritance could be damaged by any change in the “old law”.

The interest of the landowners and the others interest groups created by the Common Law Courts. Such as the close system of education in the Inn of Courts, meaning a class of educated lawyers, whom defended their privileges and practices under common law. Allowed the survival of the Common Law against the Roman Law of the Digest, as opposed France, Germany and the majority of the European Realms.
