Amendment of sub-section (10) of section 18 of the Land Act, 1933.

28.—(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (10) of section 18 of the Land Act, 1933 , an application may be made to the Land Commission under sub-section (1) of that section for the revision (but not for the funding of arrears) of either—

(a) a tithe rent-charge payable out of land which, at the passing of the said Land Act, 1933 , was not subject to a purchase annuity but has (either before or after the passing of this Act) become before the date of such application subject to a purchase annuity to which section 18 of the said Land Act, 1933 , applies, or

(b) fixed annual instalments in lieu of tithe rent-charge payable out of any such lands as are mentioned in the next preceding paragraph of this sub-section.

(2) Where an application is made by virtue of this section to the Land Commission under section 18 of the Land Act, 1933 , all the provisions of that section as amended by this Act (save in so far as they relate to the funding of arrears) shall apply and have effect as if the tithe rent-charge or fixed annual instalments in lieu of tithe rent-charge to which such application relates were an annual payment to which the said section 18 applies otherwise than by virtue of this section.
