Tort law A guest statute is a term used in the law of torts to describe a statute that makes it more difficult for a passenger in an automobile to recover damages from the driver for injuries received in an accident resulting from ordinary negligence on the part of the driver. Instead, passengers are limited to suits based on gross negligence , recklessness, or intentional misconduct. The statute may also place a cap on the damages to be awarded, or limit damages to compensation for actual physical injuries. The purpose of the guest statute is both to protect drivers from frivolous litigation and to protect insurance companies from collusive lawsuit collusive and fraudulent suits wherein the passenger sues the driver in order to collect from the driver s insurer . For the same reason, some states also passed aviation guest statutes, which limit the liability of non commercial airplane passengers. However, guest statutes now appear to have been abolished in all states except Alabama Ala. Stat. Sec. 32 1 2 . Category Tort law US law stub ... more details

The Statute of Gloucester 6 Edw 1 ref Phillips, O H and Hudson, A H. A First Book of English Law. Seventh Edition. Sweet & Maxwell. 1977. Page xi. ref is one of the most important pieces of legislation enacted in the Parliament of England during the reign of Edward I . The Statute, proclaimed at Gloucester in August 1278, was crucial to the development of English law . The Statute of Gloucester, and the ensuing legal hearings, were a means by which Edward I tried to recover regal authority that had been alienated during the reign of his father, King Henry III of England Henry III 1216 1272 who had been made a virtual tool of the baron ial party led by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester Simon de Montfort . Edward I recognized the need for the legal reform, and considered the Parliament as a means of buying popular support by encouraging loyal subjects to petition the King against his own barons and ministers. The Statute of 1278 provided for several important legal amendments, including a modification of novel disseisin one of the most popular forms of action for the recovery of land which had been seized illegally . It challenged baronial rights through a revival of the system of general eyres royal justices to go on tour throughout the land , and through a significant increase in the number of pleas of quo warranto literally By what warrant? to be heard by such eyres. In such proceedings individual barons and franchise holders were expected either to show the King s judges proper legal title by which they possessed their rights to private jurisdiction s, or to lose such rights.

The English statute usually called Statute of Provisors is the 25th of Edward III, St. 4 1350 1 , otherwise termed The Statute of Provisors of Benefices , or anciently De provisoribus . This measure was central to a long disagreement between the English kings and the Roman Curia , concerning filling of ecclesiastical benefice s. It was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1948 . Background The Pope claimed the right to temporarily suspend the right of the patron, and nominated on his own authority, a successor to the vacant benefice. The papal nominee was then called a provisor. The resulting possession by Italians of church property in England provoked serious resistance. Pope Gregory IX 1227 41 pronounced against the propriety of such provisions as interfered with the rights of lay patrons. And Pope Innocent IV expressed, in 1253, general disapprobation of these nominations. From the recitals of The Statute of Provisors it appears that the bestowal by the pope of English benefices and ecclesiastical possessions as if he had been patron or avowee ... as he was not of right by the law of England , and his accroching to him the seignories was complained of as not only an illegal injury to the property rights of particular patrons, but also as injurious spiritually and economically to the community in general.

History of the Jews in England The Statute of the Jewry was a statute issued by Edward I of England in 1275. It placed a number of restrictions on Jews of England , most notably outlawing the practice of usury . ref name Prestwich Prestwich, Michael. Edward I p 345 1997 Yale University Press. ISBN 0 3000715 7 4. ref Context Since the time of the Norman Conquest , Jews had been filling a small but vital role in the English economy. Usury by Christian s was banned by the church at the time, but Jews were permitted to act as moneylenders and bankers. That position enabled some Jews to amass tremendous wealth, but also earned them the enmity of the English populace, ref Rubenstein, W.D. A History of the Jews p 36 1996 Macmillan Press. ISBN 0 3335583 3 2. ref which added to the increasing antisemitic sentiments of the time, due to widespread indebtedness and financial ruin among the gentile population. When Edward returned from the Crusades in 1274, two years after his accession as King of England , he found that land had become a commodity, and that many of his subjects had become dispossessed and were in danger of destitution. Jews traded land for money, and land was often mortgaged to Jewish moneylenders. As special direct subjects of the King of England monarch , Jews could be taxed indiscriminately by the King. Some have described the situation as indirect usury the monarch permitting and encouraging Jews to practice usury and then taxing or expropriating some of the profit. In the years leading up to the Statute, Edward taxed them heavily to help finance his forthcoming military campaigns in Wales , which commenced in 1277.

The Statute of Bankrupts 34 & 35 Henry VIII, c. 4 was an Act of Parliament Act passed by the Parliament of England in 1542. It was the first statute under English law dealing with bankruptcy or insolvency . It was repealed by section 1 of the Act 6 Geo.4 c.16. Summary The Act contained an extremely long preamble which denounced debtors acting in fraud of their creditors, directed that the bodies of the offenders and all of their assets be taken by the requisite authorities and the assets be sold to pay their creditors a portion, rate and rate alike, according to the quantity of their debts .
