The law,
in its majestic equality,
forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread

-Anatole France
“The Law basically comprises a list of things which the upper classes do not want the lower classes to do, because they (the upper classes) would find it irritating, unpleasant, or inconvenient. These things are set out on paper so that the lower classes can readily find out what they are not supposed to be doing, and thereby avoid doing it.”

A lot of poor people dislike getting robbed or assaulted
That on its own would not provoke creation of a law.
In a world without rich people, how do you think poor people would collectively handle the problem of people that assault, rob and murder other people?
Well since you’ve taken a detour away from reality, the answer would have to be that they would utilize a perfectly effective magic spell.
