Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State

The Consolidated Laws of HMCM's Kingdom and State are the codification of the permanent laws of a general nature of Urcea enacted by the Concilium Daoni.

It is composed of several chapters, or laws. Urcea uses a system called "continuous codification" whereby each session law clearly identifies the law and section of the Consolidated Laws affected by its passage. Unlike real codes, the Consolidated Laws are systematic but neither comprehensive nor preemptive, and reference to other laws and case law (including landmark cases like Iseul v. Ministry of State and Qua v. His Most Christian Majesty's Government) is often necessary. Royal Decrees dating prior to the era of the Constitution of Urcea were only partly included within the Consolidated Laws, and consequently make up the primary body of case laws and precedents existing outside of the Consolidated Laws. Court acts and canon law additionally make up non-consolidated portions of the law.

The Consolidated Laws are considered the key document from which the Constitution of Urcea can be understood and applied in contemporary times.

History
Due to the long history of Urcea as an entity, legal scholars and courts were responsible for sifting through hundreds of years of proclamations, decrees, acts of the Holy Levantine Empire, and acts of the Concilium Daoni in order to reach decisions or pass judgments. Consequently, by the late 19th century, a considerable administrative and judicial backlog had grown, reducing the efficiency of the Government of Urcea and also crippling the ability of the Concilium Daoni to act decisively. Aedanicus VIII created a legal commission in 1877 to clarify and codify the centuries of laws and precedents established within the Kingdom, and in 1883 a draft version was completed. The King submitted the draft to the Daoni that same year, and after additional recommendations and changes the King ordered it published and adopted in 1885. It has served as the systematic laws of the Kingdom since, including during the Regency and Red Interregnum period. After the end of the Recess of the Julii, a chaptered "Imperial Law" was included with the consolidated decrees and edicts of the Holy Levantine Empire and Imperial Diet existed within the law. It was declared defunct in 1935 and repealed in 1952 by the Daoni.
