The Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969 (c. 52) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Background

The act implemented recommendations contained in the first report on statute law revision made by the Law Commission. Several proposals initial considered required a provision abolishing the forest law and the royal prerogative right to wild creatures, which led to their exclusion and the passage of the Wild Creatures and Forest Laws Act 1971 as a law reform act.

During the passage of the bill, the Joint Committee on Consolidation Bills spent 6 days reviewing the proposals.

Provisions

Section 2 of the act amended the Statute of Westminster 1285 (13 Edw. 1. St. 1) to clarify the proceedings of Advowsons in case of Quare impedit.

Section 3 of the act defined the owner's rights for rent charges that survive the repeal of the Copyhold Act 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. c. 46).

Section 4 of the act lists specific provisions that survive the repeals of the Sunday Fairs Act 1448, the Clergy Act 1533, the Appointment of Bishops Act 1533, the Ecclesiastical Licences Act 1533, the Suffragan Bishops Act 1534, and selected sections of the Act of Supremacy.

Section 5 of the act provided that sections and schedules which do not apply to Northern Ireland unless confirmed by its Parliament, and which sections of Irish Church Act 1869 (32 & 33 Vict. c. 42) should survive the repeals.

Section 6 of the act provided that only the repeal of Societies (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1940 (3 & 4 Geo. 6. c. 19) applies to Channel Islands and Isle of Man.
