The Law Terms Act 1830 (11 Geo. IV & 1 Will. IV c.70) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that made various changes to the court system of England and Wales.
The Act abolished the independent jurisdiction of the courts of session of the counties palatine of Chester, Lancaster and Durham.[1][2] Section 8 of the Act also granted direct appeal from the Court of Common Pleas to the Court of Exchequer Chamber, rather than indirectly through the King's Bench.[3] The Act is no longer in force though all quarter sessions were abolished by s.3 of the Courts Act 1971 and the Chancery jurisdiction of the counties palatine was abolished by s.41 of the same Act.
