The statutes of uncertain date, also known as statuta incerti temporis or Certain Statutes made during the Reigns of K. Henry 3. K. Edward 1. or K. Edward 2. but uncertain when or in which of their times, are English statutes dating from the reigns of Henry III, Edward I or Edward II, and frequently listed in the statute books at the end of the reign of Edward II. [1] [2]
Certain statutes do not include within their text the date on which they were made, or are otherwise considered to be of ambiguous or uncertain date (temp. incert.). These statutes are known to date generally from the reigns of Henry III, Edward I, or Edward II, and are therefore printed in The Statutes of the Realm immediately after those for Edward II.
These statutes were listed as of uncertain date in The Statutes at Large , but were assigned to dates by the research of the Record Commission in compiling the The Statutes of the Realm .
The Statute of Westminster of 1275, also known as the Statute of Westminster I, codified the existing law in England, into 51 chapters. Chapter 5 is still in force in the United Kingdom and the Australian state of Victoria whilst part of Chapter 1 remains in force in New Zealand. It was repealed in Ireland in 1983.
The Statutes at Large is the name given to published collections or series of legislative Acts in a number of jurisdictions.
The Egyptians Act 1530 was an Act passed by the Parliament of England in 1531 to expel the "outlandish people calling themselves Egyptians", meaning Roma. It was repealed by the Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act 1856.
The act 7 Ric. 2. c. 5 (1383), sometimes called the Beggars Act 1383, the Vagrancy Act, or the Vagabonds Act 1383, was an act of the Parliament of England made at Westminster in 1383, after the Peasants' Revolt (1381).
Weights and measures acts are acts of the British Parliament determining the regulation of weights and measures. It also refers to similar royal and parliamentary acts of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland and the medieval Welsh states. The earliest of these were originally untitled but were given descriptive glosses or titles based upon the monarch under whose reign they were promulgated. Several omnibus modern acts are entitled the Weights and Measures Act and are distinguished by the year of their enactment.
