Text of statute as originally enacted

The Continuance of Laws Act 1800 (39 & 40 Geo. 3. c. 17) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain.

Background

In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed. Many acts of parliament, however, contained time-limited sunset clauses, requiring legislation to revive enactments that had expired or to continue enactments that would otherwise expire. ^[1]

Provisions

Continued enactments

Section 1 of the act continued the Restriction on Cash Payments Act 1797 (37 Geo. 3. c. 45), as amended and continued by the Restrictions on Cash Payments Act 1797 (37 Geo. 3. c. 91) and the Restriction on Cash Payments (No. 2) Act 1797 (38 Geo. 3. c. 1), until 1 March 1803. ^[2]

Subsequent developments

The whole act was repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 116).
