Statute Law Revision Act 1887
The Statute Law Revision Act 1887 (50 & 51 Vict. c. 59) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for the United Kingdom enactments from 1275 to 1822 which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary. The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the new edition of the revised edition of the statutes, then in progress.
In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed. Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in the late 18th-century, raised questions about the system and structure of the common law and the poor drafting and disorder of the existing statute book.
From 1810 to 1825, the The Statutes of the Realm was published, providing the first authoritative collection of acts. The first statute law revision act was not passed until 1856 with the Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act 1856 (19 & 20 Vict. c. 64). This approach — focusing on removing obsolete laws from the statute book followed by consolidation — was proposed by Peter Locke King MP, who had been highly critical of previous commissions' approaches, expenditures, and lack of results.
The Statute Law Revision Bill had its first reading in the House of Lords on 28 July 1887, introduced by the Lord Chancellor, Hardinge Giffard, 1st Baron Halsbury. The bill had its second reading in the House of Lords on 1 August 1887 and was committed to a committee of the whole house, which met on 2 August 1887 and reported on 4 August 1887, with amendments. The amended bill had its third reading in the House of Lords on 5 August 1887 and passed, with amendments.
The amended bill had its first reading in the House of Commons on 15 August 1887. The bill had its second reading in the House of Commons on 10 September 1887 and was committed to a committee of the whole house, which met on 10 September 1887 and 12 September 1887 and reported on 12 September 1887, with amendments. The amended bill had its third reading in the House of Commons on 12 September 1887 and passed, with amendments.
The amended bill was considered and agreed to by the House of Lords on 13 September 1887.
The bill was granted royal assent on 16 September 1887.
Several acts repealed by this act were already repealed by the Sheriffs Act 1887 (50 & 51 Vict. c. 55), which was passed simultaneously.
