Legal Terms- Gypsy
Gypsy (n.): An individual leading a nomadic lifestyle without a permanent residence. Previously, local administrations were obligated to offer locations for gipsies visiting their regions. The precise definition of gipsy as a member of the Romany ethnicity was not applicable for this context; rather, the name excluded wandering showmen and New Age travellers. The Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 abolishes this requirement, however local authorities may choose to offer places if they like.
