Synopsis

Reference work on Upper Canada law, showing which statutes are in force and how they were changed.

This edition compiles the provincial statutes in force in Upper Canada and traces their amendments, continuations, and repeal history in chronological order. It also includes a continuation of the index and notes on how later Acts affected earlier ones, making it a practical tool for legal research and historical understanding.

The book aims to help readers see how the Statute Law stood at a given time, not just what each Act provides. It groups public and local Acts, explains how to read the changes, and provides cross-references to the index for quick navigation.

  • Clear, dated entries that show when Acts became law and how they were amended or repealed.
  • An integrated index and a table that clarifies which provisions were in force.
  • Notes on special subjects, like public works, taxation, and judiciary matters, as they were affected by later legislation.
  • Context for readers seeking historical or legal research on Upper Canada statutes.

Ideal for readers of legal history, researchers, and anyone needing a precise snapshot of Upper Canada's statute law as revised through 1856.
