Solicitors Act 1843

The Solicitors Act 1843 (6 & 7 Vict. c. 73) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated enactments relating to solicitors in England and Wales.

Provisions

Repealed enactments

Section 1 of the act repealed 32 enactments, listed in the first part of the first schedule to the act. The second part of the first schedule to the act listed enactments explicitly not repealed by the act.

Subsequent developments

Due to the limited territorial extent of the act, several enactments were repealed for Ireland by subsequent statute law revision acts, including:

• The Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act 1856 (19 & 20 Vict. c. 64)
• The Statute Law Revision (Ireland) Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 98)
• The Promissory Oaths Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48)
• The Statute Law Revision Act 1874 (37 & 38 Vict. c. 35)
• The Statute Law Revision Act 1891 (54 & 55 Vict. c. 67)

The whole act was repealed by section 82(1) of, and the fourth schedule to, the Solicitors Act 1932 (22 & 23 Geo. 5. c. 37).
