Local legislation refers to laws that apply only within a particular geographical area or to a specific local authority. These laws are usually created to address local needs or administrative matters that differ from those affecting the country as a whole.
Such legislation may include provisions relating to transport, markets, public health, or local infrastructure. A local Act generally affects only the designated locality and does not operate nationwide like a public general Act of Parliament.
To assist with research and legal certainty, the Law Commission produced a detailed Chronological Table of Local Legislation in 1996. This publication records thousands of local Acts, indicates whether they remain in force, and notes any amendments that have been made over time.
