Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Racecourse. By the Racecourse Licensing Act, 1879, no metropolitan suburban racecourse (i.e., no racecourse within ten miles of Charing Cross) is allowed without an annual licence from the justices of the peace, which may be granted at any Michaelmas Quarter Sessions. The (English) Racecourse Betting Act, 1928 (18 & 19 Geo. 5, c. 41), legalises the use of totalisators on certain racecourses.
