STATUTE LAW REVISION: SIXTEENTH ... - Law Commission

In each of these six cases, the particular District Council to which the Local Act relates and
the Scottish Office Development Department were consulted about repeal and
had no objection.
79 Group 3 - Education
80 Scotch Education Department Provisional Order Confirmation (Ardchattan and
Muckairn) Act 1884
81 Scotch Education Department Provisional Order Confirmation (Edinburgh) Act
1904
82 Transfer of Training Colleges (Scotland) Order Confirmation Act 1908
83 Glasgow Education Authority (Juvenile Delinquency) Order Confirmation Act
1926

7.1 These four Acts appeared to be redundant. In the case of the first two, the
specific powers of compulsory purchase they conferred had been exercised long
ago and the Acts were therefore spent. In the case of the third Act, events had
overtaken it insofar as teacher training throughout Scotland had subsequently
been re-organised in accordance with Public General legislation. Likewise the
fourth Act had been overtaken by Public General legislation concerning the
treatment of young offenders.
In all cases the interested parties, namely the Local Education Authorities and the Scottish
Office Education Department, were consulted about repeal and had no objection.
85 Group 4 - Insurance Companies
86 Scottish Marine Insurance Company Act 1841
87 Glasgow Marine Insurance Company Act 1843
88 Scottish Union Insurance Company Act 1847
89 Scottish National Insurance Company’s Incorporation Act 1859
90 City of Glasgow Life Assurance Company’s Act 1861
91 Scottish Imperial Insurance Company’s Act 1884
92 City of Glasgow Life Assurance Company Act 1892
93 Norwich Union Life Insurance Society (Scottish Imperial Fusion) Act 1906

7.1 Numerous Scottish Insurance Companies were identified by title in the trawl of
the Local Table. Those Companies not recognisable as currently operating were
traced with the assistance of the Association of British Insurers, which identified
currently operating Insurance Companies having specific interests in the old
Acts. As it transpired, Norwich Union Insurance Company Limited had the
relevant interest in most of them. In the case of the first two named Acts,
however, research was required in the Archive Records of the Association of
Underwriters and Insurance Brokers in Glasgow and in the Companies Office,
Edinburgh. In the case of Scottish Marine Insurance, the Company was found to
have been wound up only three years after the relevant Act was passed, while in
the case of Glasgow Marine Insurance, the Company had been dissolved after
its name had been removed from the Companies Register in 1976, since it had
not traded for many years, if ever.
As mentioned earlier, all the other Insurance Companies named in the list of Acts had, in
some form or another, been assimilated with Norwich Union Insurance Company
Limited which was consulted about the proposed repeals and had no objection.
