Court of Session Act 1813

The Court of Session Act 1813 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (citation 53 Geo III c. 64) which reformed Scotland's highest court, the Court of Session.

It was repealed by the Court of Session Act 1988

Famous quotes containing the words court, session and/or act:

    Of all things in life, Mrs. Lee held this kind of court-service in contempt, for she was something more than republican—a little communistic at heart, and her only serious complaint of the President and his wife was that they undertook to have a court and to ape monarchy. She had no notion of admitting social superiority in any one, President or Prince, and to be suddenly converted into a lady-in-waiting to a small German Grand-Duchess, was a terrible blow.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    The bar is the male kingdom. For centuries it was the bastion of male privilege, the gathering place for men away from their women, a place where men could go to freely indulge in The Bull Session ... the release of the guilty anxiety of the oppressor class.
    Shulamith Firestone (b. 1945)

    It is difficult for one person to act a play.
