The act 24 Geo. 2. c. 15 is an act of the Parliament of Great Britain.
According to its long title, the purpose of the Islington Church Act 1750 was to enable the parishioners of the parish of Saint Mary, Islington, in the County of Middlesex, to rebuild the church of the said parish. [1]
The church of St Mary the Virgin is situated in Upper Street, Islington. A church has stood on this site since the twelfth century. The original church was re-built in 1483, 1754 and finally in 1956.
The preamble to the 1750 act recorded that the whole of the church "is now in a very ruinous Condition".
The 1750 act provided as follows-
In 2011, The Law Commission consulted on its proposal to repeal the act, stating that, "The 1750 Act no longer serves any useful purpose. It was passed to facilitate the re-building of St Mary’s Church, Islington. That objective was achieved in 1754 when the building works were completed and the new church was opened. The provisions in the Act for raising local rates ended when the final annuity secured by the rates had come to an end. That would have been no later than 1790 or thereabouts. The 1750 Act is accordingly obsolete and its repeal is proposed on that basis." [1]
According to the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO), there are 1,138 statutory provisions in which marital status is a factor in determining benefits, rights, and privileges. These rights were a key issue in the debate over federal recognition of same-sex marriage. Under the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the federal government was prohibited from recognizing same-sex couples who were lawfully married under the laws of their state. The conflict between this definition and the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution led the U.S. Supreme Court to rule DOMA unconstitutional on June 26, 2013, in the case of United States v. Windsor. DOMA was finally repealed and replaced by the Respect for Marriage Act on December 13, 2022, which retains the same statutory provisions as DOMA and extends them to interracial and same-sex married couples.
