Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: I do not know whether Deputy Donnelly wishes to speak to amendment No. 5 as well, because we are taking them together.

Alan Shatter: To some extent they overlap.

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: I will answer Deputy Collins's query by saying that it is a personal view that non-recourse mortgage should at least be an offering.

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: Let us consider this matter carefully for a moment. What is terribly important is that debtors are not misled as to the practical possibility of entering into personal insolvency arrangements. One of the ways of ensuring that PIPs will be experts and will put forward practical proposals - they will put forward only proposals which are practical - is that they will not be paid unless the...

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: There obviously will be people who will consult PIPs and for whom, because of the genuine difficulty of their financial circumstances, personal insolvency arrangements will not be a practical possibility. The only real option for them may well be bankruptcy. That will go beyond the issue of simply repossessing the family home. A well-trained PIP who is familiar with the workings of the...

Alan Shatter: I do not know if I am on or off.

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: A little bit of silence would be a good thing. If only I was not being obliged to run around the Houses to deal with so much legislation today. This is the second Bill with which I have dealt today and there is a third with which I must deal later. First, there are no moneys available to create a central fund. Second, we must wait to see how the insolvency legislation will work in...

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: It is one of the things that should be there. I do not think we should require that all loans are like that but I personally would like to see our financial institutions offering non-recourse mortgages as a product. That would guarantee responsible lending right into the future. Of course, the banks cannot be blamed for all of it. There were many people who individually borrowed way...

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: I will conclude on this. In the context of amendment No. 7, it was something that was suggested during the debate on the Personal Insolvency Bill. I cannot accept the amendment, however, because I do not think the courts could properly impose on mortgagers the costs of a personal insolvency practitioner. For example, the personal insolvency practitioner may well, having consulted with the...

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: I will start with the issue Deputy Donnelly raised. Very careful consideration was given to what the period should be. One could argue for two months, three months or four months. There are a range of possibilities. A number of issues were factored into the two month period. It is important that people do not find themselves in a position where repossession proceedings are issued if...

Select Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Bill 2013: Committee Stage (22 May 2013)

Alan Shatter: I thank the Deputies for tabling these amendments as it gives us an additional opportunity to tease out the Bill. I am afraid I am not willing to accept amendment No. 1 for a number of reasons. It attempts to replace the carefully worded proposal contained in the Bill with a much broader proposal, which seeks to substantially rewrite the relevant provisions of the Personal Insolvency Act...
