The privity rule is a general principle of contract law and, as such, its reform is a matter for the Minister for Justice and Equality who has responsibility for civil law reform. As is evident from the draft Bill appended to its report, the Law Reform Commission was clear that implementation of its recommendations came within the remit of the Minister for Justice and Equality.
