Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017
Professor John Mee:
The Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act. It was always understood before that a joint tenant could sever at any time. If a person did not think the survivorship rule was going to favour them a person could switch to a tenancy in common where there would be no survivorship. This Act said that one had to get the prior written consent of the other joint tenant.
