Text of statute as originally enacted

The Palatine Court of Durham Act 1889 (52 & 53 Vict c 47) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was one of the Durham County Palatine Acts 1836 to 1889. ^[1] The bill for the act was the Palatine Court of Durham Bill. ^[2]

Commentary

Lely said that the act was of practical utility. ^[3]

Lapsley said that the principal change introduced by the act was the provision, in section 11, that appeals should in future lie to the Court of Appeal and thence to the House of Lords, and that no appeal from any order or judgement of the chancellor of Durham should be taken directly to the House of Lords. ^[4]
