On trouve encore l'équivalent «Couronne» à l'article 89 de la Loi sur les élections fédérales contestées, par exemple, dans les lois du Manitoba, du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l'Ontario. Étant donné que la notion d'État [Chef d'État] n'existe pas en common law, la version française doit comporter, le cas échéant, une disposition à l'effet que le terme «État» signifie Sa Majesté. 7, record 1, French, - Couronne
