Private Act

[edit]

This would be analgous to the Private Act in U.S. jurisdictions, and this needs to be added as soon as someone finds a reliable source for it. 2600:1004:B144:5853:A58B:8113:1FF4:9086 (talk) 23:49, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hybrid instrumentHybrid bill – The article is mostly about hybrid bills, and only explains hybrid instruments at the end, in terms of hybrid bills. In 2015 Scott renamed the page from Hybrid bill to Hybrid instrument on the basis that the latter was the "formal name", and search-replaced "bill" to "instrument" in the text. That is incorrect; a bill is a proposed act of parliament (primary legislation), whereas a statutory instrument is secondary legislation. In 2019 Adam37 effectively undid the search-replace but the article should be moved back to the name of the main topic. jnestorius(talk) 01:25, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I barely even remember doing that. Seems like I messed up 😅 Pour one out for all the websites which copied our article in the last 9 years. Yeah let's move it back. In my defense, until recently Erskine May was only available in print at an exorbitant price of hundreds of pounds....
Upon checking now it says "where in the opinion of the Chairman of Committees... an affirmative instrument... is such that, apart from the provisions of the Act authorising it to be made, it would require to be enacted by a private or hybrid bill [and] is known as a hybrid instrument", so that should go in statutory instrument which doesn't currently mention them.  — Scott talk 10:30, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would not mind the move but I think Scott has a good idea with putting it into a bigger article like statutory instrument Jorahm (talk) 17:14, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
