ACTS OF PARLIAMENT (EXPIRATION) ACT 1808 - LONG TITLE



An Act to remedy the Inconvenience which has arisen and may arise from the
Expiration of Acts before the passing of Acts to continue the same.{1} [25th
June 1808] When bills for continuing Acts which would expire during the
session shall not pass before the Acts expire, such Acts shall be deemed to be
continued from their expiration.

WHEREAS bills for the continuing of Acts in force only for a limited time have
sometimes not passed before the expiration of the Act intended to be
continued, and great inconvenience may arise therefrom: where any bill may
have been or shall be introduced into this present or any future session of
Parliament for the continuance of any Act which would expire in such sessions,
and such Act shall have expired before the bill for continuing the same shall
have received the royal assent, such continuing Act shall be deemed and taken
to have effect from the date of the expiration of the Act intended to be
continued as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as if such
continuing Act had actually passed before the expiration of such Act, except
it shall be otherwise especially provided in such continuing Act: Provided
nevertheless, that nothing herein contained shall extend or be construed to
extend to affect any person or persons with any punishment, penalty, or
forfeiture whatsoever, by reason of anything done or omitted to be done by any
such person or persons contrary to the provisions of the Act so continued,
between the expiration of the same and the date at which the Act continuing
the same may have received or shall receive the royal assent.
