There are hereby abolished the inferior courts of record specified in Schedule 28 to this Act, being courts having a jurisdiction defined, or originally defined, by reference to a city, borough or similar area which, after 1st April 1974, no longer exists in that form as a unit of local government (whether it ceases to do so by virtue of this Act or has ceased to do so at some time before the passing of this Act).

Her Majesty may by Order in Council make such transitional and consequential provisions as appear to Her expedient in consequence of the abolition of any court by this section.
