Rights of lessees under certain expired leases.

14.— Where

(a) a lease expired within five years before the passing of this Act, and

(b) the lessee is, at the passing of this Act, in possession of the land comprised in the expired lease under a yearly tenancy arising by implication from the acts of the parties or as a tenant at will or without obtaining a new tenancy, and

(c) no person is, immediately before the passing of this Act, entitled to a reversionary lease in respect of the land under the Act of 1931,

then, the lessee shall, during twelve months after the passing of this Act, have the same rights in relation to obtaining a reversionary lease as he would have had within fifteen years before the expiration of the expired lease if this Act had been then in force.
