Section 30 can refer to different legal provisions depending on the jurisdiction and context:
- In UK law, Section 30 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 sets out the grounds on which a landlord may oppose a tenant's application for a new tenancy. These include intentions to demolish or reconstruct the property or to occupy the premises for business or residential purposes by the landlord or a company/person with a controlling interest in the landlord
- In Scottish devolution under the Scotland Act 1998, a Section 30 Order is a type of secondary legislation that can modify the legislative powers of the Scottish Parliament by changing the list of reserved matters. Such orders require approval from the UK Parliament and the Scottish Parliament and have been used, for example, to allow a Scottish independence referendum
- In Massachusetts, USA, Section 30 refers to a Training Opportunities Program that allows unemployment insurance claimants to receive benefits while enrolled in approved full-time training
- In Indian law, Section 30 of the Indian Penal Code defines "valuable security" as a document that creates, extends, transfers, restricts, extinguishes, or releases any legal right, or acknowledges legal liability
- In Indian law, Section 30 also refers to the void nature of agreements by way of wager, meaning such agreements are not legally enforceable
- In German regulatory law, Section 30 relates to fines imposed on legal persons or associations for regulatory offences, specifying conditions and maximum amounts
- In UK Employment Rights Act 1996, Section 30 relates to the calculation of guarantee payments payable to employees for certain days
Therefore, the meaning of "Section 30" depends heavily on the specific statute or jurisdiction being referenced. The most common notable references are the UK Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (landlord opposition grounds), the Scotland Act 1998 (devolution orders), and Indian Penal Code (definition of valuable security and wager agreements).
