This article compares the origins and later development of two related remedies – one from the canon law, the other from the English common law. Neither has attracted the sustained attention of legal historians, but both played a part in the growth of English law. Although the evidence is insufficient to show that the relationship between the two was that of a ‘legal transplant’, it does produce both significant parallels and differences between them. The comparison also opens a window on the attitudes and habits characteristic of the lawyers on both sides of the divide between the two legal systems.

浪费定律和破旧定律：比较历史

本文比较了两种相关救济的起源和后来的发展——一种来自教会法，另一种来自英国普通法。两者都没有引起法律史学家的持续关注，但两者都在英国法律的发展中发挥了作用。虽然证据不足以表明两者之间的关系是“合法移植”，但它确实在它们之间产生了显着的相似之处和差异。这种比较还为了解两种法律制度分歧双方律师的态度和习惯特征打开了一扇窗。
