Text of statute as originally enacted

The Civil Procedure Acts Repeal Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict. c. 59) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for the United Kingdom enactments related to relating to civil procedure from 1235 to 1852 which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary. The act also abolished the offence of outlawry in English civil law. The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the revised edition of the statutes, then in progress.

Section 7 of the Statute Law Revision and Civil Procedure Act 1883 (46 & 47 Vict. c. 49) provided that if and so far as any enactment repealed by this act applied, or may have been by Order in Council applied, to the Court of the County Palatine of Lancaster, or to any inferior court of civil jurisdiction, such enactment was to be construed as if it were contained in a local and personal act specially relating to such court, and was to have effect accordingly.

Background

[edit]

In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed.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.[1]

In 1806, the Commission on Public Records passed a resolution requesting the production of a report on the best mode of reducing the volume of the statute book.[2] From 1810 to 1825, The Statutes of the Realm was published, providing for the first time the authoritative collection of acts.[2] In 1816, both Houses of Parliament, passed resolutions that an eminent lawyer with 20 clerks be commissioned to make a digest of the statues, which was declared "very expedient to be done." However, this was never done.[3]

At the start of the parliamentary session in 1853, Lord Cranworth announced his intention to the improvement of the statute law and in March 1853, appointed the Board for the Revision of the Statute Law to repeal expired statutes and continue consolidation, with a wider remit that included civil law.[2] The Board issued three reports, recommending the creation of a permanent body for statute law reform.

In 1854, Lord Cranworth appointed the Royal Commission for Consolidating the Statute Law to consolidate existing statutes and enactments of English law.[2] The Commission made four reports.

An alternative approach, focusing on expunging obsolete laws from the statute book, followed by consolidation, was proposed by Peter Locke King MP, who was heavily critical of the expenditure of the Commission and the lack of results.[4] This approach was taken by the Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act 1856 (19 & 20 Vict. c. 64), considered to be the first Statute Law Revision Act.[2]

On 17 February 1860, the Attorney General, Sir Richard Bethell told the House of Commons that he had engaged Sir Francis Reilly and A. J. Wood to expurgate the statute book of all acts which, though not expressly repealed, were not in force, working backwards from the present time.[2]

Passage

[edit]

The Civil Procedure Acts Repeal Bill had its first reading in the House of Lords on 27 June 1879, introduced by the Lord Chancellor, Hugh Cairns, 1st Earl Cairns.[7] The bill had its second reading in the House of Lords on 11 July 1879 and was committed to a committee of the whole house,[7] which met and reported on 14 July 1879, without amendments.[7] The bill had its third reading in the House of Lords on 15 July 1879 and passed, without amendments.[7]

The bill had its first reading in the House of Commons on 21 July 1879.[8] The bill had its second reading in the House of Commons on 24 July 1879 and was committed to a committee of the whole house,[8] which met on 4 August 1879 and 8 August 1879 and reported on 8 August 1879, with amendments.[8] The amended bill had its third reading in the House of Commons on 10 May 1879 and passed, with amendments.[8]

The amended bill was considered and agreed to by the House of Lords on 12 August 1879.[7]

The bill was granted royal assent on 15 August 1879.[7]

Legacy

[edit]

The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the revised edition of the statutes, then in progress,[9] as well as the Consolidated "Rules of the Supreme Court, 1883".[10]

Several enactments mentioned in Part II of the schedule were repealed by the Statute Law Revision and Civil Procedure Act 1881 (44 & 45 Vict. c. 59). The enactments mentioned in Part II of the schedule were repealed by section 4 of the Statute Law Revision and Civil Procedure Act 1883 (46 & 47 Vict. c. 49). The repeal of these enactments was criticised for their complexity, specifically where multiple enactments served the same purpose, serving to "incumber the Statute-book".[11] For example, the Supreme Court of Judicature received powers under the Insolvent Debtors Relief (No. 2) Act 1728 (2 Geo. 2. c. 22) and the Set-off Act 1734 (8 Geo. 2. c. 24) that established the right of set-off for mutual debts in legal actions, through the Rules of Court 1875, and the County Court through the County Court Rules in 1876. These acts were affected by the Civil Procedure Repeal Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict. c. 59) and these provisions were further extended to the Court of the County Palatine of Lancaster and other inferior civil courts by section 7 of the act.

The preamble, section 3 from the beginning of this section to the word "Act" and the schedule were repealed by section 1 of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. c. 56).

Section 4(2), the words from "and shall not" to the end and Section 4(3) were repealed by section 1 of, and the first part of the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1898 (61 & 62 Vict. c. 22).

This act was repealed by section 1 of, and the first schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1958 (6 & 7 Eliz. 2. c. 46).

This act was repealed for the Republic of Ireland by sections 2(1) and 3(1) of, and Part 4 of Schedule 2 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.

The repeals in this act resulted in several court cases.[12][13][14] As to sections 2 and 4, see Snelling v Pulling.[15] As to section 4(1), see Hanak v Green.[16]

Repealed Acts

[edit]

Section 2 of the act repealed 132 enactments, listed in the schedule to the act.[9]

Section 3 of the act abolished the punishment of outlawry and waiver in civil proceedings.[9]

Section 4 of the act provided that the repeal would not affect: (a) anything done before the act's passing, (b) any established jurisdiction, principle, or rule of law or equity, (c) any right to hereditary revenues of the Crown or charges thereon, (d) any repeal, confirmation, revival, or perpetuation by previous enactments, and (e) the application of any repealed enactment in other legislation. The section further provided that the repeal would not extend to any part of Her Majesty's dominions outside the United Kingdom, and would only operate in respect of the Supreme Court of Judicature in England. Additionally, the act would not revive or restore any jurisdiction, office, duty, fee, payment, franchise, liberty, custom, right, title, privilege, restriction, exemption, usage, practice, procedure, or other matter not existing at the time of passing.[9]
