Constitution (Amendment No. 22) Act 1933

The Constitution (Amendment No. 22) Act, 1933 was an Act amending the Constitution of the Irish Free State, abolishing the right of appeal from the Supreme Court of the Irish Free State to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. It formed part of the constitutional programme of Fianna Fáil following its victory in the 1932 general election.

The major provisions of the Act were (a) abolishing the right of appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (b) providing that it would not be lawful for any person to petition the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council against a decision of an Irish court and (c) applying the abolition retrospectively to existing judgments and appeals in being.[1]

The Act became obsolete on the repeal of the 1922 Constitution in 1937, and has formally been repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 2016.[2]
