Statute Law Revision Act 1893 (Canada)

The Statute Law Revision Act 1893 (Canada) was an Act of the Parliament of Canada designed to revise and consolidate the statutes of Canada. Its primary purpose was to repeal obsolete, spent, or otherwise unnecessary enactments, thereby simplifying and streamlining the body of statute law. This type of legislative action is generally taken periodically to maintain the accessibility and clarity of a nation's laws. The Act would have identified specific statutes (or portions thereof) to be repealed, based on their redundancy, obsolescence, or conflict with newer legislation. By removing these outdated or unnecessary laws, the Act contributed to a more manageable and understandable legal framework for both legal professionals and the general public. Subsequent Statute Law Revision Acts have followed over the years to maintain the currency and relevance of Canadian law. The long title and chapter number would be necessary to find the exact text and schedule of the Act for more specific information regarding which statutes were repealed at that time.
