Promissory Oaths Act 1871
The Promissory Oaths Act 1871 (34 & 35 Vict. c. 48) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for the United Kingdom enactments relating to promissory oaths from 1346 to 1867 which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary.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.
Background
[edit]In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed.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.[1]
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.[2] From 1810 to 1825, The Statutes of the Realm was published, providing for the first time the authoritative collection of acts.[2] 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]
At the start of the parliamentary session in 1853, Lord Cranworth announced his intention to the improvement of the statute law and in March 1853, appointed the Board for the Revision of the Statute Law to repeal expired statutes and continue consolidation, with a wider remit that included civil law.[2] The Board issued three reports, recommending the creation of a permanent body for statute law reform.
In 1854, Lord Cranworth appointed the Royal Commission for Consolidating the Statute Law to consolidate existing statutes and enactments of English law.[2] The Commission made four reports
An alternative approach, focusing on expunging obsolete laws from the statute book, followed by consolidation, was proposed by Peter Locke King MP, who was heavily critical of the expenditure of the Commission and the lack of results.[4] This approach was taken by the Repeal of Obsolete Statutes Act 1856 (19 & 20 Vict. c. 64), considered to be the first Statute Law Revision Act.[2]
On 17 February 1860, the Attorney General, Sir Richard Bethell told the House of Commons that he had engaged Sir Francis Reilly and A. J. Wood to expurgate the statute book of all acts which, though not expressly repealed, were not in force, working backwards from the present time.[2]

Legacy
[edit]The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of a revised edition of the statutes.[5]
The act was partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010.[8]
Section one to end of subsection (1) and the schedules to the act was repealed by section 1 of, and schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1883 (46 & 47 Vict. c. 39).
Repealed acts
[edit]Section 1 of the act repealed 199 enactments, listed in the first, second, third and fourth schedules to the act.[5]
Section 1 of the act included several safeguards to ensure that the repeal does not negatively affect existing rights or ongoing legal matters. Specifically, any legal rights, privileges, or remedies already obtained under the repealed laws, as well as any legal proceedings or principles established by them, remain unaffected.[5] Section 1 of the act also provided that if someone is exempt from taking an oath or making a declaration that would normally be required for a position or benefit, they can still qualify for it by meeting all other conditions, as if they had taken the oath.[5]
Section 2 of the act specified where officers should take their oaths of allegiance and judicial oaths across Great Britain and Ireland, either before crown-appointed persons or in open court before various senior judges and courts, with specific provisions for England, Scotland, and Ireland's distinct legal systems.[5]
