1949 – 1985 Application of Colony Laws Ordinances

In this period no Falkland Islands Ordinance applied in the Dependencies unless there was a separate law of the Dependencies applying the law there.

The Dependencies Ordinances applying the Falkland Islands Ordinances in the Dependencies were typically entitled ‘Application of Colony Laws Ordinances [year]’ and have, understandably become known as ‘ACLOs.’  These ACLOs should not be confused with the Application of Colony Laws Ordinance (Cap 1 DS) which should be considered as well as it is this Ordinance that provides the essential rules of construction for Falkland Islands laws being applied via a Dependencies Ordinance such as an ACLO!

If researching whether and when a Falkland Islands Ordinance applied in the Dependencies it is essential to consider the relevant ACLO as it is the ACLO that specifies the relevant commencement date of the Falkland Islands Ordinance in the Dependencies.

The following table lists all the ACLOs and similar Ordinances enacted in the period 1950-1985 and the Falkland Islands laws being applied to the Dependencies together with their commencement date or the date when they were brought into force.

Laws 1949-1985 Table

Below you will find each of the ACLOs that were enacted in the period 1951 – 1985 together with the Falkland Islands Ordinances that were being applied (after the 1951 Consolidation came into force on 12 March 1953).
