The Thameslink Planning Enquiry
In article , I wrote:
At least the 1936 Act has been repealed (by a Statute Law Reform Act, oops, Statute Law Revision Act so not because of a specific replacement) I should have clarified for those not familiar: SLR Acts basically repeal Acts or parts of Acts whose provisions have either been superseded by later laws, or is effectively dead but needs a formal stake through the heart. For example, clause 25 of Magna Carta: One measure of Wine shall be through our Realm, and one measure of Ale, and one measure of Corn, that is to say, the Quarter of London; and one breadth of dyed Cloth, Russets, and Haberjects, that is to say, two Yards within the lists. And it shall be of Weights as it is of Measures. is superseded by the various bits of Weights and Measures legislation, and so the 1948 SLR Act repealed it. Similarly, the concept that women can't accuse men of murder was effectively dead long ago, and so clause 34: No Man shall be taken or imprisoned upon the Appeal of a Woman for the Death of any other, than of her husband. was repealed by the 1863 SLR Act (1872 in Ireland). [That particular Act repealed almost half of the Great Charter.] -- Clive D.W.
