The Dean Forest Act 1861[a] (24 & 25 Vict. c. 40) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It is a public general act.[1] It was omitted from the third revised edition of the statutes because of its local and personal nature.[2]

The act was partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010.[3]

Section 7

In the case of any grant after the passing of the Dean Forest (Mines) Act 1904 (4 Edw. 7. c. clvi) of any gale to which that act applies section 7 of the Dean Forest Act 1861 (which relates to the cesser and refixing of rents and royalties) has effect as though such number of years not exceeding sixty-three as may be specified in the grant were substituted for twenty-one years in that section.[4]

Subsequent developments

The preamble to, and sections 2, 5, 6, 17, 22 and 27 of, the act were repealed by section 1 of, and part VII of the schedule to, the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969, which came into force on 1 January 1970.[5] These provisions had been agreed by the Forestry Commission to be obsolete, spent, unnecessary or superseded.[6]

Section 25 of the act was repealed by section 1(4) of, and the schedule to, the Wild Creatures and Forest Laws Act 1971, which came into force on 1 July 1971.[7]

Section 26 was amended by paragraph 2 of the schedule to the Dean Forest and New Forest Acts (Amendment) Regulations 1979 (SI 1979/836).[8]
