Abstract
Examines proposals relating to freehold covenants contained in the Irish Land and Conveyancing Law Report Bill 2006 ss.46-48, including abolition of the rules of common law and equity on enforceability of covenants. Identifies potential problems with the proposals, focusing on issues relating to: (1) the omission of covenants which affect leasehold land; (2) whether the proposal to allow the burden of positive covenants to pass to successors in title will apply to schemes of development; (3) the class of person against whom covenants would be enforceable; and (4) priority and registered land. Legislation Cited: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2006 s.46, s.47, s.48 (Ireland)
