Statute of Westminster 1931: Difference between revisions

''The '''Statute of Westminster, 1931''' is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (22 & 23 Geo. V c. 4, December 11, 1931) which established a status of legislative equality between the self-governing dominions of the British Empire and the United Kingdom. The Statute became domestic law within each of the other Commonwealth realms after the patriation of the particular realm's constitution, to the extent that it was not rendered obsolete by that process. The Statute is sometimes referred to, especially in the former dominions, as the '''Treaty of Westminster''', although it was not in the form of a treaty.''
