The Continuance of 9 Geo. 1. c. 22 Act 1725 (12 Geo. 1. c. 30) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that continued various older acts.
In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed. Many acts of parliament, however, contained time-limited sunset clauses, requiring legislation to revive enactments that had expired or to continue enactments that would otherwise expire.[1]
