Land and conveyancing reform
Bernard J. Durkan asks about early legislation to resolve confusion from boom-era conveyancing procedures; Burton says its heads have not reached Cabinet and the Bill is intended for next year.
In light of the considerable confusion surrounding the multiple conveyancing procedures which operated during the boom, is it intended to bring the land and conveyancing law reform (amendment) Bill before the House at an early date with a view to addressing the issues that have arisen?
Has the issue been aired in the Cabinet? Have the heads of the Bill been discussed and, if not, are they likely to be discussed? Is the need for early intervention caused by ongoing confusion in this area recognised?
Comment on this
The heads of the Bill have not yet been brought to the Cabinet. I understand the intention is to bring the Bill before the House next year.
