VETERA STATUTA
Vetera statuta (pronounced vet-uh-ruh stuh-too-tuh) is a Latin term used in law to refer to the ancient statutes from Magna Carta (1215) to the end of Edward II's reign (1327). These statutes are also known as antiqua statuta (pronounced an-tih-kwuh stuh-too-tuh). They are a collection of laws that were created during this time period and are considered to be some of the earliest laws in English history.
- The Magna Carta, which was signed in 1215, is one of the most famous vetera statuta.
- Another example of an antiqua statuta is the Statute of Westminster, which was passed in 1275.
These examples illustrate how vetera statuta refers to a specific time period in English history when important laws were created.
