The Statute Law Revision and Civil Procedure Act 1883 (46 & 47 Vict. c. 49) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for England and Wales enactments relating to civil procedure from 1495 to 1867 which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary. The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the revised edition of the statutes, then in progress.
Section 187 of the County Courts Act 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 43) provided that any reference to an inferior court in the act was to be construed as referring to courts under that act as well as to any other inferior court.
Section 209 of the Supreme Court of Judicature (Consolidation) Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5. c. 49) provided that if and so far as any enactment repealed by this act applied, or might have been applied by Order in Council, to the Court of the County Palatine of Lancaster, or to any inferior court of civil jurisdiction, that enactment was to be construed as if it were contained in a local and personal act specially relating to that court, and was to have effect accordingly.
