The Statute Law (Repeals) Act 2013

The Statute Law (Repeals) Act 2013 is a law that formally revokes or removes outdated, unnecessary, or no longer relevant laws from the UK statute books. Its purpose is to streamline and modernize the body of existing laws, ensuring the legal system remains clear and efficient. By repealing those laws no longer in use or relevant, it helps prevent confusion and simplifies legal references. The Act does not change current laws but clears away historic laws that have served their purpose and are now obsolete.
