Chapter XXXIV: limits the use of the writ known as Praecipe. This
Text size
writ was one transferring cases concerning the ownership of property
from the courts of the feudal lords to those of the king. This custom,
which owes its origin to Henry II., meant a loss of revenue to the
lords, whose victory in this matter, however, was a step backwards. It
checked temporarily the process of centralizing the administration of
justice.
