| dc.description.abstract | Reports on the Irish Law Reform Commission's proposal to abolish the fee tail system, whereby an estate may only pass to the direct descendants of the original tenant. Examines the Commission's proposal concerning the conversion of existing fee tails to fee simple, and compares it to the proposal on the issue made by the Northern Ireland Land Law Working Group in 1990. Discusses the constitutionality of converting existing fee tails to fee simple, and suggests an alternative approach whereby all fee tails in possession are converted automatically. Legislation Cited: Fines and Recoveries (Ireland) Act 1834 | en |
