The Statute Law Revision Act 1872 (No. 2) (35 & 36 Vict c 97) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
It was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the revised edition of the statutes then in progress.[3]
The enactments which were repealed (whether for the whole or any part of the United Kingdom) by this Act were repealed so far as they extended to the Isle of Man[4] on 25 July 1991.[5]
The Schedule to this Act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1894 (57 & 58 Vict c 56).
This Act was repealed for the United Kingdom by Group 1 of Part IX of Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1998.
This Act was retained for the Republic of Ireland by section 2(2)(a) of, and Part 4 of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.
