Statutes and Their Interpretation in the First Half of the Fourteenth Century (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
How medieval courts read law shaped the laws we study today. This title analyzes early forms of statute interpretation in the first half of the fourteenth century, showing how judges and legislators treated written statutes as binding authority with real consequences in cases from wardship to novel disseisin.
The book draws on Year Book reports and case summaries to trace a shift toward strict statutory reading. It reveals debates in the courts about when and how statutes should govern pleas, writs, and remedies, and how this thinking evolved through the reigns of Edward II and Edward III.
- How statutes moved from verbal to written authority and affected everyday legal procedure.
- Cases that illustrate early tensions between common law and statute law.
- Examples of judges arguing for fidelity to the text and the king’s prerogative.
- The development of what later scholars call a theory of strict interpretation.
Ideal for readers of legal history, medieval law, and the philosophy of statutory interpretation, this work suits students and researchers seeking concrete case studies and thoughtful analysis of early statutory practice.

Statutes and Their Interpretation in the First Half of the Fourteenth Century
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the methods and principles of interpreting legislation that were evolved by English common law courts during the reigns of Edward I, Edward II, and Edward III, from 1272 to 1377. During this formative period, the justices interpreted enacted or written laws, and their interpretations illuminate the meaning and scope of the acts, as well as the relationship between the acts and the unwritten common law. This book uses contemporary interpretation as a key to understanding the statutory law of the period, which is significant because these medieval reports give insight into how the common law courts viewed and applied statutes. The author draws upon year books to study an important class of original materials from the sole standpoint of interpretation, and his results reveal certain processes and tendencies in legislation and adjudication that were previously unknown. This specialized study of early English interpretation in the Edwardian century inspires other scholars to investigate the history of interpretation in other periods.
