I know it's still law but on this database that we are to use (west law and lexisnexis) its saying its not out of date, but its not got the right icons next to it to show that its binding so to speak.

Have you ever been told u cant pay more than 20p in coppers because you're breaking the law?
Would you ever consider reporting a shop for breaking the law if you saw them accept more than 20p in coppers?
What response do you think you would get, or what kind of punishment do you think the shop would get?

I think it'd be dropped due to it being an outdated law that nobody has bothered to change, there are loads of laws still in statute that aren't in practice, I'm pretty sure there was a thread about some only last week?


I'd link the database and show you what I mean but you have to be a subscriber to them to have access, but both are the ones used by solicitors and barristers because they are updated regularly, and I'm just reading what it says on there.
