The Growth of Coffee Act 1745 (19 Geo. 2. c. 23) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that continued various older acts.
Background
[edit]In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed. Many acts of parliament, however, contained time-limited sunset clauses, requiring legislation to revive enactments that had expired or to continue enactments that would otherwise expire.[1]
Provisions
[edit]Continued enactments
[edit]Section 1 of the act continued the Growth of Coffee Act 1731 (5 Geo. 2. c. 24) and the Trade of Sugar Colonies Act 1732 (6 Geo. 2. c. 13), as continued by the Continuance of Laws Act 1737 (11 Geo. 2. c. 18), until the end of the next session of parliament act after 7 years from the expiration of the act.[2]
Legacy
[edit]The Select Committee on Temporary Laws, Expired or Expiring, appointed in 1796, inspected and considered all the temporary laws, observed irregularities in the construction of expiring laws continuance acts, making recommendations and emphasising the importance of the Committee for Expired and Expiring Laws.[3]
The whole act was repealed by section 1 of, and the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1867 (30 & 31 Vict. c. 59).
