The Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 (the “2009 Act”) came into force on 1 December 2009 without much fanfare or media attention (apart from its ban on upwards-only rent reviews which, to the surprise of many, was brought into operation on 28 February 2010), but it constitutes the most fundamental reform of our land and conveyancing law since the nineteenth century and is hugely significant. This article by Kelly O’Hara and published in the June 2010 edition of The Irish Tax Review, aims to provide an overview of its main provisions as it is not possible, given the depth and breadth of the 2009 Act, to provide a detailed analysis in a single article.
