The Continuance of Laws Act 1551 (5 & 6 Edw. 6. c. 17) was an act of the Parliament of England that continued various older enactments.
In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed.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]
