Law Terms Act 1830

The Law Terms Act 1830^[a] (11 Geo. 4. & 1 Will. 4. c. 70) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that made various changes to the court system of England and Wales.

Section 8 of the act granted direct appeal from the Court of Common Pleas to the Court of Exchequer Chamber, rather than indirectly through the King's Bench.^[1]

Section 14 of the act abolished the independent jurisdiction of the courts of session of the County Palatine of Chester.^[2][3]

Section 15 of the act was repealed by section 56 of, and part IV of schedule 11 to, the Courts Act 1971, which came into force on 1 January 1972.^[4]

In a report dated 27 September 1985, the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission said that section 32 was the only provision that had not been repealed. They said that local consultation had confirmed it was obsolete and unnecessary. They recommended the whole act be repealed.^[5]

The whole act was repealed by section 1(1) of, and group 1 of part I of schedule 1 to, the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1986, which came into force on 2 May 1986.^[6]
