The first Enactment of the New Zealand parliament (General Assembly), created by the New Zealand Constitution Act 1852, was the English Laws Act 1854 which established the applicability of all English laws in effect 14 January 1840, to New Zealand. The New Zealand Constitution Act 1846 was never implemented and was suspended. This is part of a list of Statutes of New Zealand for the period up to and including part of the first year of the Liberal Government of New Zealand.
