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. The Statute provided that after 31 July 1536, no land was to be transferred based on a sale unless that sale had been certified by either the courts in Westminster or the local Justices of the Peace , unless it was in those cities or boroughs where this was already required. ref Kaye 1988 p.617 ref The Statute was evaded through simply selling the land ... because the statute only applied to estates of inheritance and freehold , not of leasehold . ref Oxland 1985 p.64 ref The common impression is that the Statute was intended to prevent secret conveyancing ... journal last Kaye first J.M. date 1988 title A note on the Statute of Enrolments, 1536 journal Law ... more details

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 It was repealed by section 1 of the Act 6 Geo.4 c.16.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 . Thereby the first bankruptcy statute also imported into English law for the first time the pari passu principle of distribution on insolvency. These principles would later be heavily underscored by the Judicial Committee of the House of Lords House of Lords in the cases of National Westminster Bank plc v Halesowen Pressworks Ltd 1972 AC 785 and British Eagle International Airlines Ltd v Compagnie Nationale Air France 1975 1 WLR 758. Preamble The Preamble to the 1542 Act was as follows. Cquote Where divers and sundry persons craftily obtaining into their hands great substance of other men s goods do suddenly flee to parts unknown or keep their houses, not minding to pay or restore to any their creditors their debts and duties, but at their own will and pleasure consume the substance obtained by credit of other men, for their own pleasure and delicate living, against all reason, equity and good conscience ...the Lord Chancellor ... shall have power and authority by virtue of this Act to take ... imprisonment of their bodies or otherwise, as also with their real and personal property however held and to make sale of said real and personal property however held for true satisfaction and payment of the said creditors, that is to say to every of the said creditors a portion, pari passu rate and rate like, according to the quantity of their debt .
