It repealed the Witchcraft Act 1735, and it was in turn repealed on 26 May 2008[1] by new Consumer Protection Regulations following an EU directive targeting unfair sales and marketing practices.[2] There were five prosecutions under this Act between 1980 and 1995, all resulting in conviction.[3] References1. ^Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 Schedule 4 2. ^"There may be trouble ahead" BBC News, 18 April 2008 3. ^{{cite news |last1=Finkelstein |first1=Daniel |authorlink1=Daniel Finkelstein |title=All that clairvoyant stuff – I don't see it myself |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/all-that-clairvoyant-stuff-i-don-t-see-it-myself-k3rrbkn5msz |accessdate=17 November 2018 |work=The Times |subscription=y |date=11 April 2007}} External links
