The
following were
among
the
matters
discussed :
Land Act, 1931, Section 31 (3) : Land Act,
1933, Section 48
The Secretary reported that he had
received
a letter from a member pointing out that in a
case in which lands had been vested in a tenant
by a Vesting Order in the Land Commission he
was unable to register a deed of transfer, owing to
the operation of Section 31
(3) of the Land Act,
1931 and Section 48 of the Land Act, 1933.
No
folio had been opened in the Land Registry owing
to the accumulation of Vesting Orders in the Land
Commission.
It was ordered that representations
should be made to the Secretary of the Irish Land
Commission for the repeal or amendment of the
sections, and that it should be enacted that in such
cases any transfer of the lands should continue to be
registered in the Registry of Deeds until the opening
of a folio for the holdings in the Land Registry.
Certified Copy Deeds
A member requested the opinion of the Council on
the following facts : A contract for the sale of part
of the lands comprised in a lease provided that the
purchaser should be entitled to a certified copy of a
lease. The vendor's solicitor furnished what pur–
ported to be a copy certified by another solicitor who
has acted some years ago in the matter.
In this
document the lands were described by reference to a
map thereon but no map appeared on the copy.
It was stated that there was no map endorsed on or
attached to the copy lease when the copy was
certified by the previous solicitor acting in the
matter. Query:
(i) is
the purchaser's solicitor
entitled to a certified copy of the map in question ?
(2) If so is the solicitor who furnished
the copy
