Additional precedent clauses/covenants for deeds of easement

Conveyancing 04/04/2014

The Conveyancing Committee has recently been advised of the following matters by Bloomsbury, publishers of Laffoy’s Irish Conveyancing Precedents

  • Issue 47 of Irish Conveyancing Precedents included additional materials for ‘Division G: Easements’.
  • The precedents in Division G provide for circumstances that are typically presented and that would, most generally, give rise to the necessity to prepare a grant of right of way/easement. They set out the recommended minimum content for such deeds and contain a set of core clauses.
  • Practitioners should note the addition to this division by the provision of a set of useful additional clauses/covenants in Section G.5. These are intended to be used in addition to the core clauses set out in the precedents.
  • The introductory note to this division includes an explanatory note as to their usage.

Practitioners should therefore check the additional clauses/covenants in Section G.5 if they wish to make variations to the typical precedent deed of grant of right of way/easement contained elsewhere in Division G of the precedents.
