CATEGORY U2: CUSTOMS, IMPORTATION, EXPORTATION AND TRADE

 

The Statute Law Revision Programme considers the instruments in this category to be suitable for revocation. 

 

This category consists of orders relating to customs, importation, exportation and trade around the world. Some instruments in this category were made pursuant to prerogative authority. Others were made pursuant to the Customs Act 1833 (3 & 4 Will. 4) c. 59, the Customs Act 1840 (3 & 4 Vict.) c. 95, the Customs Act 1843 (8 & 9 Vict.) c. 84, the Duties of Customs Act 1845 (8 & 9 Vict.) c. 90 and the Trade in British Possessions Act 1845 (8 & 9 Vict.) c. 93.[i] 

 

The Statute Law Revision Programme consulted with a number of Departments and bodies on the instruments in this category. These included the Department of Defence, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine, the Department of Transport and the Revenue Commissioners. All Departments and bodies agreed that the instruments were suitable for revocation.

[i] The Customs Acts 1833, 1840 and 1843 were repealed by section 1 of the Customs Act 1845 (8 & 9 Vict.) c. 84. However, section 3 of the Customs Act 1845 was a saving provision, providing that ‘all Orders made by Her Majesty in Council’ remain ‘valid and effectual’ despite the repeal of their parent enactments. Similarly, the Duties of Customs Act 1845 and the Trade in British Possessions Act 1845 were repealed by section 358 and schedule A of the Customs Consolidation Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict.) c. 107, with section 358 of the Customs Consolidation Act 1853 acting as a saving provision. This means that the instruments in this category remain in force until formal revocation.
