Tramways and Public Companies (Ireland) Act, 1883

Terms of repayment of advances to companies.

42 & 43 Vict. c. 77.

19. Advances made by the Land Commission to a public company in pursuance of this Act shall be made repayable within such periods and at such rate of interest as are set forth in a minute of the Treasury made on the sixteenth day of August one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine, with reference to loans, to which section two of the Public Works Loans Act, 1879, applies, or as the Treasury may from time to time fix in pursuance of that section.

The security for the repayment of such advances shall be in such form, and shall contain such conditions for obliging the company duly to carry out the purposes specified in this Act as to sales to tenants and otherwise, as the Land Commission may consider proper.

All contracts of sale by a public company to a tenant or other person pursuant to this Act shall be submitted to and shall be subject to the approval of the Land Commission.

If the Land Commission so direct, the purchase money payable by a tenant or other purchaser to a public company shall be paid to the Land Commission, and credited to the company as against any money for the time being owing by the company to the Land Commission.

If the Land Commission so direct, any rentcharge, annuity, or instalments on account of purchase money payable by a tenant or other purchaser to a public company, shall be reserved and made payable to the Land Commission, and all sums received by the Land Commission on account thereof shall be credited against any sums owing by the company to the Land Commission on account of rentcharge, purchase money, or otherwise.

So soon as all sums owing by a public company to the Land Commission shall have been paid and discharged, the Land Commission shall by order direct that such rentcharge, annuities, and instalments as last mentioned remaining unpaid, shall forthwith vest in and become payable to the said public company or its assigns, and the same shall then so vest and become payable accordingly.
