Section 46 sets out the territorial extent of the Act, that is, the jurisdictions of which the Act forms part of the law. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application is about where an Act produces a practical effect.
The Act extends to England and Wales only, save for section 46 (the extent provision) and section 6 so far as it relates to section 426 of the Insolvency Act 1986. These provisions extend to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Any amendment or repeal made by the Act has the same extent as the enactment amended or repealed.
The Act applies to England and Wales save in respect of Part 1 and section 41, which apply to England only.
There are no significant devolution issues.
See the table in Annex A for a summary of the position regarding territorial extent and application in the United Kingdom.
