Master and Servant Act 1889

An Act to repeal certain Statutes, relating to Master and Servants in particular Manufactures, which have ceased to be put in force or have become unnecessary by the enactment of subsequent Statutes. [26th July 1889.]

WHEREAS certain statutes relating to master and servant in particular manufactures have, partly by reason of changes in the methods of manufacture and in the conditions of employment, and partly by reason of improvements in the general law, either ceased to be put in force or become unnecessary, and it is expedient with a view to the revision of the statute law, and particularly to the improvement of the revised edition of the statutes, to expressly and specifically repeal the same:

Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

Short title.
