I study Law and we are allowed to take legislation into the exam with us. I am looking to get hold of legislation the post 1922 legislation is easy I can photocopy them in the library, buy them at Government Publications or print from the web. It's the pre-1922 that is making things hard. Government Publications don't sell it, we're not allowed photocopy it from books or print from the web because it would be an infringement of copyright law apparently.
We can photocopy the official replica acts in the library but because some of these acts are so old they're pretty hard to get your hands on. So my question is does anyone know of anywhere that sells these acts?
I said I'd try the UK stationary office but I doubt they'll have some of them because they weren't in force in the UK or were repealed. I really feel that the Irish Government Publications should have to sell all the legislation that is in force surely people have a right to access it?
Anyway in case anyone's interested some of the Legislation I am after is:-
Statute Quia Empores 1290 (18 Edw. 1 cc 1,2)
Statute of Mortmain 1279 (7 Ewd. 1 St. 2)
Statute De Donis Conditionalibus 1285 (13 Ewd. 1 c. 1)
Statute of Frauds (Ireland) 1695 (7 Will. 3 c. 12)
Statute of Uses (Ireland) 1634 (10 Chas. 1 sess. 2, c. 1)
Conveyancing Act 1881 (44 & 45 Vict. c. 41)
Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Act 1860
Settled Land Act 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 38)
