REGNAL YEAR

regnal year.A year of a monarch’s reign, marked from the date or anniversary of the

monarch’s accession. • Before 1962, British statutes were cited by the regnal years in which they

were enacted. Since 1962, British statutes have been cited by calendar year rather than regnal year.

(A table of British regnal years is listed in Appendix G of this book.) [Blacks Law 8^th]
