In the parliament held at Westminster on 2 May 1421 the statute was extended so that justices could amend the record and process both before and after judgement as long as it is before them. The ordinance was to last until the next parliament of Henry V. They request that the ordinance and its effect hold force in each record and process both before and after judgement, and endure forever.
