The Statute Law Revision Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. 101) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

History

Whereas James Williams called this the first of the Statute Law Revision Acts,^[3] it was predated by the Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act 1856. It was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of a revised edition of the statutes.^[4]

This act was repealed for the United Kingdom by Group 1 of Part IX of Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1998.

The enactments which were repealed (whether for the whole or any part of the United Kingdom) by this Act were repealed so far as they extended to the Isle of Man^[5] on 25 July 1991.^[6]

This Act was retained for the Republic of Ireland by section 2(2)(a) of, and Part 4 of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.
