The Commons Act 1285a (13 Edw. 1. c. 46) was an act of the Parliament of England. It was chapter 46 of the Statute of Westminster the Second.
Subsequent developments
The act was extended to Ireland by Poynings' Law 1495 (10 Hen. 7. c. 22 (I)).1
So much of this statute as ordained that the towns near adjoining were to be distrained to levy, at their own cost, a hedge or dyke overthrown, and to yield damages, was repealed, as to England and Wales, by the Criminal Statutes Repeal Act 1826 (7 & 8 Geo. 4. c. 27).2 It was repealed to the same extent, on 1 March 1829, as to all persons, matters and things over whom or which the jurisdiction of any of the King's courts of justice erected within the British Dominions under the government of the United Company of Merchants of England trading to the East Indies extended by section 125 of the Criminal Law (India) Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c. 74).
The whole act was repealed for Ireland by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1872 (No. 2) (35 & 36 Vict. c. 97), which came into force on 10 August 1872.3
The whole act, so far as unrepealed, was repealed for Northern Ireland by section 1(1) of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1950 (14 Geo. 6. c. 6), which came into force on 23 May 1950.4
The whole act was repealed for England and Wales by section 47(1) of, and part 3 of schedule 6 to, the Commons Act 2006, which came into force on 19 July 2006.5
