The Statute of Enrolments was a 1536 Act of Parliament Act of the Parliament of England that regulated the sale and transfer of land. The Statute is commonly considered an addition to the Statute of Uses , which was passed within the same Parliament, probably due to an omission in the Statute of Uses. It is thought to have been intended to prevent secret conveyancing, although modern academics instead assert that it was so Henry VIII of England Henry VIII could keep an accurate record of who his freeholders were. The Statute, which only provided for estates of inheritance and freehold , was easily evaded through the sale of an estate for a limited time period, as leasehold , something given validity at the common law level in 1621 by Lutwich v Mitton . Statute The Statute was intended as an addition to the Statute of Uses , and was passed in the same session of Parliament Edward Coke , for example, referred to it as but a Proviso to the Statute of Uses. The Statute was drafted quickly, by the Clerk of the House of Commons rather than a legislator, and is interesting in that unlike most government bills it completely lacks a preamble . It is thought by Charles Isaac Elton that it was drafted as some sort of emergency legislation , which Kaye backs up, saying that it was most likely due to some omission in the Statute of Uses.

Conflict of laws A borrowing statute , in United States law, is a statute under which one state may borrow a shorter statute of limitations for a cause of action arising in another state. The purpose of borrowing statutes is to prevent plaintiffs from engaging in forum shopping in order to find the longest available statute of limitations. Such a statute is applied where a plaintiff sues in a state different from the state where the act that is the basis of the lawsuit occurred for example, if a person was injured in a car accident in state A, but sues the other driver in state B presuming state B has jurisdiction, usually because it is the driver s home state . The state will usually apply the other state s statute of limitations, so long as it is a shorter statute of limitations than that of the borrowing state. In determining which state is the one in which the cause of action arose, states will apply various choice of law principles, which can be very complicated. In some states, the borrowing statute will only be applied if the plaintiff was not a resident of that state at the time the cause of action accrued in others, it will only apply if the defendant was not a resident. In Virginia ref Code of Virginia 8.01 247. ref and West Virginia , the borrowing statute applies only to contract actions. If the contract has been breached in another state where it was supposed to have been performed, or validity of the contract is contested in another state where the contract was formed, then Virginia and West Virginia will apply the statute of limitations of the other state, so long as it is shorter than their local statutes of limitations.

Statutes of repose and statutes of limitation However, most courts hold that statutes of repose are a broader category.
