Custodial history
A Subcommittee on Law (after 1921 Law and Legislation) was appointed by the Joint Committee on Church Union in 1904 to recommend the general form and procedures for Union, and as Union approached to assist the passage of the legislation through the various federal and provincial parliaments and legislatures. A Committee of Law for the Church (after 1926 Committee on Law and Legislation) continued to take charge of legal problems following Church Union. The Committee was largely concerned, in the early post-Union period, with questions concerning property, especially as they related to the continuing Presbyterian Church. The Committee was disbanded in 1942; its work continued by Sessional Committees on Law and Legislation which met during General Councils.
