Repeal In 1966, the
Law Commission recommended that section 3 of the act be repealed. They said that there was no sense in having a special rule for actions concerned with land. Any offence under this act, to the extent to which it depended on any provision of this act, was abolished for
England and Wales on 21 July 1967 by section 13(1)(b) of the
Criminal Law Act 1967. The whole act was repealed for
England and Wales on 21 July 1967 by section 13(2) of, and part I of schedule 4 to, the
Criminal Law Act 1967. The act was retained for the
Republic of Ireland by section 2(2)(a) of and part 2 of schedule 1 to, the
Statute Law Revision Act 2007. == Provisions ==
