Text of statute as originally enacted

The Summary Jurisdiction Act 1884 (47 & 48 Vict.. c. 43), also known as the Summary Jurisdiction (Repeal) Act 1884,[1] was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that clarified the Summary Jurisdiction Acts as amended by the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.) and repealed for England and Wales statutes from 1691 to 1882.

Background

In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed. Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, published in the late 18th-century, raised questions about the system and structure of the common law and the poor drafting and disorder of the existing statute book.[2]

In 1806, the Commission on Public Records passed a resolution requesting the production of a report on the best mode of reducing the volume of the statute book.[1] From 1810 to 1825, The Statutes of the Realm was published, providing for the first time the authoritative collection of acts.[1] In 1816, both Houses of Parliament, passed resolutions that an eminent lawyer with 20 clerks be commissioned to make a digest of the statutes, which was declared "very expedient to be done." However, this was never done.[3]

On 16 March 1824, the Select Committee on the Criminal Law in England was appointed to consider the expediency of consolidating and amending the criminal law.[4] The Select Committee reported on 2 April 1824, resolving to consolidate the criminal law under several heads and to bring in Bills to do so.[5]

In 1827, Peel's Acts were passed to modernise, consolidate and repeal provisions of the criminal law, territorially limited to England and Wales and Scotland, including:

In 1828, parallel Bills for Ireland to Peel's Acts were introduced, becoming:[6]

In 1828, the Offences Against the Person Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c. 31) was passed, which consolidated provisions in the law relating to offences against the person and repealed for England and Wales almost 60 related statutes. In 1829, the Offences Against the Person (Ireland) Act 1829 (10 Geo. 4. c. 34) was passed, which consolidated provisions in the law relating to offences against the person and repealed for Ireland almost 60 statutes relating to the Criminal law.

By 1848, the institution of Justice of the Peace in England and Wales had fallen into disrepute in some legal circles and was dealing with a rapidly increasing case load,[7] its statutory basis dating back to the sixteenth century.[7] In 1848, John Jervis MP was responsible for sponsoring, drafting and all but single-handedly guiding through the House of Commons three acts, known as Jervis's Acts, to reform the criminal and civil roles of a Justice of the Peace in England and Wales:[7]

The acts were immediately praised for their work reforming the administration of criminal justice in England and were compared favourably in impact to Peel's Acts and Lord Lansdowne's Acts.[8]

The Summary Jurisdiction Acts, including the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1848 (11 & 12 Vict.. c. 43), Quarter Sessions Act 1849 (12 & 13 Vict.. c. 45) and Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.), reformed the procedure before courts of summary jurisdiction and on appeals from those courts to courts of quarter sessions.[9] This rendered many statutes obsolete.

Passage

Leave to bring in the Summary Jurisdiction (Repeal, &c.) Bill was granted to J. T. Hibbert MP and the home secretary Sir William Harcourt MP on 7 February 1884.[10] The Bill had its first reading in the House of Commons on 7 February 1884.[10] The Bill had its second reading in the House of Commons on 17 May 1884 and was committed to a Committee of the Whole House,.[10] The Committee was discharged and the Bill was committed to a Select Committee, which reported on 24 June 1884, with amendments.[10] The amended Bill had its third reading in the House of Commons on 24 June 1884 and passed, without amendments.[10]

The Bill had its first reading in the House of Lords on 26 June 1884.[11] The Bill had its second reading in the House of Lords on 3 July 1884 and was committed to a Committee of the Whole House,[11] which met on 18 July 1884 and reported on 22 July 1884, with amendments.[11] The amended Bill had its third reading in the House of Lords on 22 July 1884 and passed, without amendments.[11]

The amended Bill was considered and agreed to by the House of Commons on 29 July 1884.[10]

The Bill was granted royal assent on 7 August 1884.[11]

Legacy

Courtenay Ilbert described this act as an "expurgatory act".[1]

Section 7 was repealed by section 41 of, and the schedule to, the Interpretation Act 1889 (52 & 53 Vict.. c. 63).

The preamble, section 2, section 3 to "enacted that", section 4 from "and (3) This repeal" to "not passed", section 5 to "enacted that", and from "And for the further" to "declared that", section 8 to "declared that" (occurring first), and from "and for the" to "declared that", section 12 to "enacted that" and the schedule were repealed by section 1 of, and part I of the schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1898 (61 & 62 Vict.. c. 22).

Section 11 was repealed by section 245(1) of, and Schedule 11 to, the Poor Law Act 1927 (17 & 18 Geo. 5. c. 14).

The act was wholly repealed by section 132(1) of, and Schedule 6 to, the Magistrates' Courts Act 1952. (15 & 16 Geo. 6 & 1 Eliz. 2. c. 55).

Provisions

Section 1 of the act provided that the act may be cited as the Summary Jurisdiction Act, 1884.[9]

Section 2 of the act provided that the act would come into force on 1 December 1884.[9]

Section 3 of the act abolished corporal punishment, specifically whipping, as a penalty for non-payment of financial obligations ordered by courts of summary jurisdiction in England. The provision explicitly maintained imprisonment (with or without hard labor) as a permissible punishment, while removing all other forms of physical punishment that were previously available to the courts for enforcing monetary judgments.[9]

Section 4 of the act repealed 141 acts, listed in the schedule to the act, limited to England and Wales. Section 4 of the act included several safeguards to ensure that the repeal does not negatively affect existing rights or ongoing legal matters.[9]

Section 4(2) of the act provided that the expression in the said “ schedule conviction or order of a court of summary jurisdiction” shall mean a conviction or order made in pursuance of the Summary Jurisdiction Acts. The expression "conviction or order of a court of summary jurisdiction" referred to in section 4(2) appears in the entries in the Schedule relating to section 17 of the Parish Apprentices Act 1816 (56 Geo. 3. c. 139), section 87 of the Turnpike Roads Act 1823. (4 Geo. 4. c. 95), section 105 of the Highway Act 1835 (5 & 6 Will. 4. c. 50) and section 269 of the Public Health Act 1875 (38 & 39 Vict. c. 55) which were repealed so far as they related to an appeal against a conviction or order of a court of summary jurisdiction.[12]

Section 5 of the act addressed potential ambiguities regarding the application of Summary Jurisdiction Acts following the legislation's repeals. The section preserved justices' authority to act summarily in matters referenced in repealed enactments and established that Summary Jurisdiction Acts would apply to proceedings where previous procedures had been repealed. Additionally, it clarified that sections 19 and 21 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1848 (11 & 12 Vict.. c. 43), as amended by the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.), would govern the recovery of penalties and fines in cases where statutes authorized imprisonment as a sole or alternative punishment.[12]

Section 6 of the act standardised the appeals process for decisions made under the Summary Jurisdiction Acts. The section specified that where a person was authorized by any act passed before the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.) to appeal from a conviction, order, or refusal of a court of summary jurisdiction, they would now be required to appeal to a court of general or quarter sessions subject to the conditions and regulations established in the 1879 Act.[12]

Section 7 of the act clarified the definition of "court of summary jurisdiction" originally established in section 50 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.). The section addressed doubts about whether this definition extended to justices and magistrates when acting under legislation other than the Summary Jurisdiction Acts. It explicitly declared that the definition included any justice, justices of the peace, or magistrate, regardless of whether they were acting under the Summary Jurisdiction Acts, other Acts, by virtue of their commission, or under common law.[12]

Section 8 of the act addressed two key matters regarding petty sessional court-houses. First, it clarified that under section 30 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.), justices or councils had the authority to establish multiple petty sessional court-houses if deemed necessary or expedient, resolving previous doubts about this power. Second, it established that these court-houses could be located outside their designated petty sessional division, either within the same county or in adjoining counties or boroughs. When justices acted in such court-houses, they would be considered to be operating within their own county and petty sessional division, ensuring their jurisdictional authority remained intact regardless of the physical location of the court.[12]

Section 9 of the act provided that nothing in section 227 of the Municipal Corporations Act 1882. (45 & 46 Vict.. c. 50) should be taken to have repealed section 38 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.).[12]

Section 10 provided that nothing in the act was to alter the procedure for the recovery of or any remedy for the non-payment of any poor rate. Section 2(3) of the Rating and Valuation Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5. c. 90) provided that all enactments relating to the poor rate which were in force at the commencement of that act, including (subject to the provisions of that act) enactments relating to repeals against a poor rate, were, so far as not repealed by that act, to apply to the general rate.[12]

Section 11 of the act provided that nothing in the act shall alter the procedure for the recovery of or any remedy for the non-payment of any poor rate, or of any rate or sum of payment not adjudged by the conviction or order of a court of summary jurisdiction.[12]

Section 12 of the act provided that a form authorised by any rules for the time being in force in pursuance of section 29 of the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1879 (42 & 43 Vict.) shall be of the same effect as if it were contained in the Summary Jurisdiction Act 1848 (11 & 12 Vict.. c. 43), or in any other act to which the form is made applicable.[12]
