The Growth of Coffee Act 1745 (19 Geo. 2. c. 23) 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In the United Kingdom, acts of Parliament remain in force until expressly repealed.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]
Provisions
Continued enactments
Section 1 of the act continued the Growth of Coffee Act 1731 (5 Geo. 2. c. 24) and the Trade of Sugar Colonies Act 1732 (6 Geo. 2. c. 13), as continued by the Continuance of Laws Act 1737 (11 Geo. 2. c. 18), until the end of the next session of parliament act after 7 years from the expiration of the act.[2]
