LANDLORD AND TENANT (IRELAND) ACT 1870 - SECT 1

1. The usages prevalent in the province of Ulster, which are known as, and in
this Act intended to be included under, the denomination of the Ulster
tenant-right custom, are hereby declared to be legal, and shall, in the case
of any holding in the province of Ulster proved to be subject thereto, be
enforced in manner provided by this Act.

Where the landlord has purchased or acquired or shall hereafter purchase or
acquire from the tenant the Ulster tenant-right custom to which his holding is
subject, such holding shall thenceforth cease to be subject to the Ulster
tenant-right custom.

A tenant of a holding subject to the Ulster tenant-right custom, and who
claims the benefit of such custom, shall not be entitled to compensation under
any other section of this Act; but a tenant of a holding subject to such
custom, but not claiming under the same, shall not be barred from making a
claim for compensation, with the consent of the Court, under any of the other
sections of this Act, except the section relating to compensation in respect
of payment to incoming tenant; and where such last-mentioned claim has been
made, and allowed, such holding shall not be again subject to the Ulster
tenant-right custom.
