Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which is mainly based on recommendations made by the Final Report of the Land Law Working Group (HMSO 1990). empowers persons who hold land subject to ground rents to redeem those rents voluntarily on or after a day to be appointed, except where the land is used (or is required by its title to be used) wholly for business purposes. The Order also contains provisions for the compulsory redemption of ground rents on dwelling-houses which are to be the subject of conveyances on or after an appointed day. In addition, the Order makes new provision for the running of certain covenants affecting freehold land and for the conversion of certain estates, repeals obsolete provisions about agricultural tenancies and makes provision about land owned by the National Trust or in co-ownership and the compulsory acquisition of land subject to a tenancy.
