The Fraudulent Mediums Act 1951 was a law in England and Wales which prohibited a person from claiming to be a psychic, medium, or other spiritualist while attempting to deceive and to make money from the deception (other than solely for the purpose of entertainment). It repealed the Witchcraft Act 1735, and it was in turn repealed on 26 May 2008 by Schedule 4 of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 implementing the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005 which targeted unfair sales and marketing practices. It also changed section four of The Vagrancy Act of 1824 to ensure that it is still enforced with the acts.

It repealed the Witchcraft Act 1735, and it was in turn repealed on 26 May 2008 by Schedule 4 of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 implementing the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive 2005 which targeted unfair sales and marketing practices. It also changed section four of The Vagrancy Act of 1824 to ensure that it is still enforced with the acts. There were five prosecutions under this Act between 1980 and 1995, all resulting in conviction. (en)
  • Закон о лже-медиумах — закон в Великобритании (за исключением Северной Ирландии) 1951 года. Согласно Закону, любому парапсихологу, медиуму, или другому спиритуалисту, запрещено вести свою деятельность с помощью обмана и зарабатывать деньги с помощью обмана (кроме как в целях развлечения). Этот закон пришел на смену Закону о Колдовстве и, в свою очередь, был отменён 26 мая 2008 годаиз-за вступления в силу нового закона о защите прав потребителей от недобросовестной торговли. Согласно указанному акту в период с 1980 по 1995 годы в результате судебных процессов было выдвинуто лишь пять обвинений. (ru)
