The Continuance of Laws Act 1800 (39 & 40 Geo. 3. c. 17) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain.
In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed.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]
