- The Statute of Westminster of 1275 (3 Edw. I), also known as the Statute of Westminster I, codified the existing law in England, into 51 chapters. Only Chapter 5 (which mandates free elections) is still in force in the United Kingdom, whilst part of Chapter 1 remains in force in New Zealand. It was repealed in Ireland in 1983. William Stubbs gives a summary of the Statute: This act is almost a code by itself; it contains fifty-one clauses, and covers the whole ground of legislation. Its language now recalls that of Canute or Alfred, now anticipates that of our own day; on the one hand common right is to be done to all, as well poor as rich, without respect of persons; on the other, elections are to be free, and no man is by force, malice or menace, to disturb them. The spirit of the Great Charter is not less discernible: excessive amercements, abuses of wardship, irregular demands for feudal aids, are forbidden in the same words or by amending enactments. The inquest system of Henry II of England, the law of wreck, and the institution of coroners, measures of Richard and his ministers, come under review as well as the Provisions of Oxford and the Statute of Marlborough. Though it is a matter of dispute when peine forte et dure (Law French for "hard and forceful punishment") was first introduced, chapter 3 states that those felons standing mute shall be put in prison forte et dure.

- Lo Statuto di Westminster del 1285 (13 Edward I, St. 1; conosciuto anche come Statuto di Westminster I, come lo Statuto di Westminster del 1285, era uno statuto inglese del re Edoardo I ed è esso stesso un codice che raccoglie le leggi inglesi allora esistenti in 51 Capitoli. Il Capitolo 5, conosciuto come il Freedom of Election Act 1275, è ancora in vigore nel Regno Unito. dice di esso: Anche se è materia di disputa su quando è stato introdotto tra peine forte et dure (Law French - antico francese giuridico per "punizione dura e forte"), il capitolo 3 afferma che quei criminali che rimangono zitti devono essere messi in prison forte et dure (Law French).
