It seems to me that translating this as "common law" would be confusing. Any suggestions?
y, en tercer lugar, es una ley común porque el régimen de responsabilidad que surge de ella es de aplicación en todo el territorio de la República.

general law
Yo no usaría "common law" porque eso lleva a pensar en el régimen del derecho anglosajón, por oposición al derecho romano.
Te doy la definición de "general laww" que da el Black's Law Dictionary:
A law that affects the community at large. ... A law, framed in general terms, restricted to no locality, and operating equally upon all of a group of objects, which, having regard to the purposes of the legislation, are distinguished by characteristics sufficiently marked and important to make them a class by themselves, is not a special or local law, but a general law. A law that relates to a subject of a general nature, or that affects all people of state, or all of a particular class.
HTH, saludos,
Patricia
