CORRESPONDENCE DANGEROUS LAND CERTIFICATE

SOLICITORS ANGLING SOCIETY

Centaur Street, Carlow, 29 October 1976

Dear Mr. Ivers, Recently I obtained from a client's Bank his Land Certificate on Accountable Receipt with a view to selling the property contained herein. The Land Cer- tificate showed my client registered as Full Owner with Absolute Title and the only prohibition was sub-letting or sub-division specified in Section 12 of the Land Act, 1965 and the provision restricting the vesting of in- terests specified in Section 45 of the same Act. I prepared a Contract and was about to have it signed when a certificate copy Fo'io which 1 had bespoken became available. On reading this document I was amazed to se A that it contained an entry not contained in the Land Certificate restricting the transfer of the property without the consent of the Land Commission, by reason of the provisions of Section 6 of the Land Act. 1946 which impose a restriction on an original holding when the owner thereof has obtained an ad- ditional holding from the Land Commission on the division of an Estate elsewhere. It would accordingly appear that our Profession cannot rely on the Land Certificate as containing the true title of any lands. If, for example, I had acted for a Purchaser of the lands in question without looking at a Folio, I could be in serious trouble. Incidentally the Bank from whom I got the Land Certificate would appear to have had little or no sec- urity. I think this should be brought to the notice of the Profession.

It is proposed to form an Angling Club for members of the profession if there is sufficient interest in the project. It is proposed that the Club would hold one or more not too serious competitions in dif- ferent areas each year. It is proposed that the activities of the CluW should cover both fresh and salt water angling. Will any member interested please get in touch with :

JOHN B. JERMYN, CLONLEIGH, KINSALE, CO. CORK. Tel. 021 / 72553.

Yours sincerely, Frank Lanigan.
