The Durham (County Palatine) Act 1836[1] (6 & 7 Will. 4. c. 19) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It abolished the temporal authority of the Bishop of Durham within the County Palatine of Durham, placing the county under lay administration. Previously, since 1075, the so-called prince-bishops had substantial powers as earls "with the right to raise an army, mint his own coins, and levy taxes".[2][3]

It also disbanded the Court of the County of Durham, appointing the High Sheriff as judge of a regular county court.[4] Doubts about the construction of this Act led to the enactment of the Durham County Palatine Act 1858.[5]

Repeal

In a report dated 28 October 1975, the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission said that the unrepealed residue of this Act was spent because of the abolition of the Court of Chancery of the County Palatine of Durham and Sadberge. They recommended that the whole Act be repealed.[6] The Act was repealed by Part I of Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1976.
