LAND LAW (IRELAND) ACT 1881 - SECT 7



7. A tenant on quitting the holding of which he is tenant shall not be
deprived of his right to receive compensation for improvements under the
Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Act, 1870, by reason only of the determination
by surrender or otherwise of the tenancy subsisting at the time when such
improvements were made by such tenant or his predecessors in title, and the
acceptance by him or them of a new tenancy.

Where in tracing a title for the purpose of obtaining compensation for
improvements, it appears that an outgoing tenant has surrendered his tenancy
in order that some other person may be accepted by the landlord as tenant in
his place, and such other person is so accepted as tenant, the outgoing tenant
shall not be precluded from being deemed the predecessor in title of the
incoming tenant by reason only of such surrender of tenancy by him.

The court, in adjudicating on a claim for compensation for improvements made
before any such change of tenancy or of tenants, shall take into consideration
all the circumstances under which such change took place, and shall admit,
reduce, or disallow altogether such claim as to the court may seem just.

A flax scutching mill otherwise suitable to the holding on which it is erected
shall not be deemed to be unsuitable to the holding on which it is erected by
reason only that it is available for purposes beyond those of the holding on
which it is situate.

S.8 rep. by 1896 c.47 s.52 sch.2; SLR 1950
