Territorial extent and application
Section 3(1) sets out the territorial extent of the act; that is the legal jurisdiction in which the Act is intended to form part of the law. The extent of an Act can be different from its application. Application is about where an Act will have a practical effect, the extent is England and Wales and the application is England only.
