3     Legislation history
This Act was originally a UK Act—(1400) 2 Hen 4 c 1 (UK). The Act was renamed as the Free Access to Courts Act 1400 when it was first republished under the Legislation Act 2001.
The Act was in force in NSW immediately before 1 January 1911 (the date of establishment of the ACT) and was continued in force by the Seat of Government Acceptance Act 1909 (Cwlth), s 6.
Under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth), s 4 the Act had effect in the ACT as if it were an ACT law (subject to ordinances made under the Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910).
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (4) converted most former UK laws in force in the ACT into ACT enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the laws. This Act was converted into an ACT enactment on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).
Under the Interpretation Act 1967 (repealed), s 65 all former UK Acts in force in the ACT immediately before 10 November 1999 (including this Act) became, for all purposes, laws made by the ACT Legislative Assembly. This completed the process of making former UK Acts fully into ACT laws.
Free Access to Courts Act 1400 2 Hen 4 c 1
as amended by
Imperial Acts Application Act 1986 No 93 s 5 and sch 3 pt 6
notified 12 January 1987 (Cwlth Gaz 1986 No S1)
s 5 and sch 3 pt 6 commenced 12 January 1987 ( s 2 (1))
4     Amendment history
The Imperial Acts Application Act 1986 (the 1986 Act), sch 3, pt 6 set out the text of this Act in an amended form and provided for the amended form to apply as the text of the Act in force in the ACT (see 1986 Act, s 5 (1), (4) and (5)).
Sections 1 to 3 (which confirmed the rights of the church and the rights, liberties and franchises granted by the King's predecessors) were omitted by the 1986 Act because they were obsolete and unnecessary.
This Act has not been amended since the enactment of the 1986 Act, except under the Legislation Act 2001.
