Northern Ireland Land Act 1925

23 Abolition of power to fix judicial rents. U.K.

(1) After the passing of this Act a judicial rent shall not be fixed under the Land Law (Ireland) Acts in respect of any holding, but nothing in this provision shall prevent the filing after the passing of this Act of agreements fixing fair rents entered into before the sixteenth day of December, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, or the operation of such agreements, when filed, or the making of rules in relation to such agreements, or the fixing of a fair rent after the passing of this Act in pursuance of an application made before the said date.

(2) Where a holding has been excluded from vesting in the Commission under Part II of this Act by reason that it possesses a substantial value or utility (whether potential or actual) as building ground, and the holding is subject to a first-term judicial rent, the court shall have the like power of authorising the resumption thereof as if the holding had been subject to a second-term judicial rent:

Provided that nothing in this provision affects any power of obtaining possession of any holding held at a non-judicial rent.
