APPENDIX 4(15)
Statute Law Revision (Scotland) Act 1906
(6 Edw 7, c 38)
An Act to further promote the Revision of the
Statute Law by repealing Enactments which have ceased to be in
force or have become unnecessary.
[4 August 1906.]
Whereas it is expedient that certain enactments which
may be regarded as spent, or have ceased to be in force otherwise
than by express specific repeal by Parliament, or have, by lapse
of time or otherwise become unnecessary, should be expressly and
specifically repealed:
Be it therefore enacted by the King's most Excellent
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual
and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled,
and by the authority of the same, as follows:
Enactments in schedule repealed
1. The enactments described in the schedule
to this Act are hereby repealed subject to the provisions of this
Act and subject to the exceptions and qualifications in that schedule
mentioned; and every part of a title, preamble, or recital specified
after the words "in part, namely," in connexion with
an Act mentioned in the said schedule, may be omitted from any
revised edition of the statutes published by authority after the
passing of this Act, and there may be added in the said edition
such brief statement of the Acts, officers, persons, and things
mentioned in the title, preamble, or recital, as may in consequence
of such omission appear necessary.
Provided as follows:
The repeal of any words or expressions of enactment
described in the said schedule shall not affect the binding force,
operation, or construction of any statute, or of any part of a
statute, whether as respects the past or the future;
and where any enactment not comprised in the
said schedule has been repealed, confirmed, revived, or perpetuated
by any enactment hereby repealed, such repeal, confirmation, revivor,
or perpetuation, shall not be affected by the repeal effected
by this Act;
and the repeal by this Act of any enactment
or schedule shall not affect any enactment in which such enactment
or schedule has been applied, incorporated, or referred to;
nor shall such repeal of any enactment affect
any right to any hereditary revenues of the Crown, or affect any
charges thereupon, or prevent any such enactment from being put
in force for the collection of such revenues, or otherwise in
relation thereto;
and this Act shall not affect the validity,
invalidity, effect, or consequences of anything already done or
suffered—or any existing status or capacity—or any
right, title, obligation, or liability already required, accrued,
or incurred, or any remedy or proceeding in respect thereof—or
any release or discharge of or from any debt, penalty, obligation,
liability, claim, or demand—or any indemnity—or the
proof of any past act or thing;
nor shall this Act affect any principle or rule
of law or equity, or established jurisdiction, form or course
of pleading, practice, or procedure, or the general or public
nature of any statute, or any existing usage, franchise, liberty,
custom, privilege, restriction, exemption, office, appointment,
payment, allowance, emolument, or benefit, or any prospective
right, notwithstanding that the same respectively may have been
in any manner affirmed, recognised, or derived by, in, or from
any enactment hereby repealed;
nor shall this Act revive or restore any jurisdiction,
office, duty, drawback, fee, payment, franchise, liberty, custom,
liability, right, title, privilege, restriction, exemption, usage,
practice, procedure, form of punishment, or other matter or thing
not now existing or in force.
Short title
2. This Act may be cited as the Statute
Law Revision (Scotland) Act 1906.
