Talk:Habeas Corpus Act 1679

WBK 17:45, 4 February 2006 (UTC) - Added HC text and U of C links

explanation of habeas corpus
The first paragraph does not make sense to the average reader. It is a little convoluted. Could an explanation of what Habeas Corpus means be put in slightly more simple English at least. Ammi 12:30, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

broken source link
The link to the habeas corpus act is broken, the text is at http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Habeas_Corpus_Act_of_1679 Can someone fix this?


 * Done, but they should move it too, or at least have a redirect :) -- ALoan (Talk) 16:32, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Amendments
The second paragraph states: "Though amended, it remains on the statute book to this day."

It seems to me that for a document of this significance the amendments should be outlined if not detailed to show their impact on the evolution of habeas corpus law in England and beyond. 66.75.66.240 (talk) 14:29, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Fat lord story
I saw this on reddit and it seems a little dubious. PunxtawneyPickle (talk) 03:49, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
