Book excerpt: Farming and the Law is the first publication in Ireland, in over a decade, dealing specifically with legal issues that arise in farming. It offers a comprehensive overview of the legal issues of which farmers should be aware, in an increasingly complex and regulated environment. This book serves to demystify and decipher the often incomprehensible jargon associated with the law as it relates to farming. Irish farming has changed significantly over the years, and it continues to evolve. In a short space of time, it has become more bureaucratic and regulated. Specialist knowledge is required to fully appreciate the problems that farmers face today, as many decisions carry legal, tax, and practical implications. Farmers and landowners who keep abreast of current laws and regulations will be empowered to make better decisions for their farming business. This book is designed to be accessible to the layperson, including farmers, members of the public, and anyone interested in the law in relation to farming. It also will provide an invaluable reference for legal practitioners advising clients in this particular area of law. [Subject: Property Law, Irish Law, Farm Law]Ã?Â?Ã?Â?

Download or read book The Regulation of the Legal Profession in Ireland written by Maeve Hosier and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2014-08-17 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Regulation of the Legal Profession in Ireland is a new and insightful exploration of history, controversy and reform relating to the Irish legal system. During recent legislative debate over a professional reform bill, Alan Shatter--then the Minister of Justice in Ireland--publicly called this study, in its earlier form as a dissertation, "marvellous," and stated that it "should be compulsory reading for us all." He noted that the thesis "sets out the history of the legal profession and how it evolved. It evolved continually until approximately 1870 and then went into paralysis and nothing has changed since. ... It is extraordinarily curious that people think the world stopped in 1870." Professor Laurent Pech, formerly of the School of Law at NUI Galway and now Head of the Law Department at Middlesex University London, has stated that this study "makes a decisive contribution to the on-going scholarly and policy debates on this issue, by evaluating the present regulatory framework and offering a number of suggestions to improve it in a context of increasing transnationalisation of the market for legal services." He added that Hosier's "innovative approach to the problem of lawyers' misconduct is, in particular, worth noting. This aspect of her work has the potential to help alleviate a problem which has been extremely costly for both the legal profession and wider society alike. Her doctoral research also provides a valuable insight into the impact of the Troika upon the regulation of the legal profession in so-called 'bailed-out countries.'" Professor Pech concluded that the author "should be congratulated for having made an exceptional contribution to the current debate on the regulation of the legal profession both nationally and internationally. I have no doubt that her original and thought-provoking work will be useful to policy-makers and scholars alike." This book features Professor John Flood's new, substantive introduction, explaining the worldwide implications of professional reform efforts, the financial crisis that precipitated them, and the relation to regulation of the legal profession in other countries. It also includes the author's notable examination of the effect of the Troika's bailout conditions on law reform possibilities in Ireland. This part of the book was presented in the US at the 2013 annual conference of the Law and Society Association. Finally, the book adds a section on 2014 developments in reform efforts in Ireland. A powerful new addition to the Dissertation Series from Quid Pro Books.

Download or read book The Irish Land Laws Classic Reprint written by Alexander George Richey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Land Laws During the past year many articles have been written, and speeches made, advocating altera tions, more or less extensive, in the Irish Law of Landlord and Tenant, and suggesting new legis lation whereby the relations of the owners and occupiers of land in Ireland may be established upon a permanent and satisfactory basis. When the abolition or reform of any system of law is taken in hand, it is of the first import ance that the enactments of the existing code should be clearly understood; nothing is more dangerous than a partial repeal of legal prin ciples, which leaves other rules, which are either their logical antecedents or consequences, still subsisting; or an ill-considered reform which leaves mingled together in hopeless confusion enactments of different origin and contradictory nature.1870, and have proceeded upon the assumption that the law as it now exists is the same as that which subsisted prior to the former date; It is. Not to be expected that laymen should take upon themselves the irksome and uninteresting task Of' mastering the Acts of 1860 and 1870, and of eu quiring upon what principles the reforms in these statutes proceeded, and to What extent the previous law, for the better or for the worse, was thereby altered. The enthusiasm of more than one advo-l cate of a reform of the Irish law has been cooled by the discovery that the legal injustice, the sup posed existence of which had struck him as a cry ing wrong, formed no part of the law in question, and he has been hence induced to consider the complaints of the working of the present system as wholly unfounded. It may, therefore, be use ful to lay before the public, in a brief and popular form, the leading principles of the existing Irish Land Law; to show how it has grown to be what it is; how it differs from that existing in England upon what principles these changes have been made and to draw attention to the points in which the Irish Law, and the Roman and French Law upon this subject, resemble or contradict each other.
