Costs of Lease

THE Council considered on a report from a Com

mittee a query as to the appropriate scale of costs

chargeable on the granting of a lease of premises

in the city of Dublin under the provisions of Section

20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act, 1931.

The

lease was dated I3th January, 1949, for a term of

99 years from 6th May, 1949, subject to the yearly

rent of £100, lessees paying all rates and taxes. The

lease was a renewal of a lease dated 1864 for 85

years subject to the yearly rent of £28 which will

expire on 6th May, 1949.

The rent of £100 was

fixed by agreement between the parties on the basis

of the rent which would have been fixed by the

Court under Part 3 of the Landlord and Tenant

Act, 1931. The Council expressed the opinion that

the rent of £100 was a rack rent, and that the costs

should be charged on the scale appropriate thereto.

Unqualified person drawing a Lease

ON a report from a committee it was ordered that

subject to counsel's advice proceedings should be

instituted against

an unqualified person, who

described himself as an accountant, for a breach of

Section 3 of the Conveyancers' (Ireland) Act, 1864,

by drawing a letting agreement for or in expectation

of fee or reward.
