Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: Cth

very likely
Explanation:
The Commonwealth Franchise Act of 1902 certainly exists, so it's quite probable that this is an abbrev. for Commonwealth. I have also seen "clth."

It appears many official sites in Australia use the abbrev. (Cth) for Commonwealth laws.
