Scrutiny of the Civil Liability (Amendment) (Prevention of Benefits from Homicide) Bill 2017
Professor John Mee:
Let us suppose the house is worth €1 million. He had a joint tenancy with his wife. What was his interest worth? It was €500,000. He murders her – it is a terrible crime – and goes to jail. He now has a tenancy in common with a half-share worth €500,000. It is worth the same as it was before.
