The National Asset Management Agency Act 2009: Annotations and Commentary
Hugh B. Byrne and Louis McEntagart
This new title will comprise the full text of the National Asset Management Act 2009, with detailed notes, including definitions, and cross-references.
The National Asset Management Bill 2009 has been widely described in the Irish media as the most important piece of legislation in the history of the state. It is the Irish government’s attempt to resolve the current economic and banking crisis in Ireland. The plan is to establish the National Asset Management Agency to function as a ‘bad bank’, acquiring all property development loans of over €5m from Irish banks. There is widespread confusion about what the Act will do so this book will be invaluable.

Ancillary Discovery
Written by David O'Neill
- This brand new title deals with ancillary discovery in Ireland (North and South), England and Wales.
- It deals with disclosure of information outside the Rules of Court, for example, as an independent action, in aid of tracing remedies, in aid of Mareva injunctions or Anton Piller orders, or, in the Republic of Ireland, the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act.
There has been major reform of civil procedure in the relevant jurisdictions in the last 10 years. In England and Wales, and in personal injuries actions in Ireland, there has effectively been abandonment of the writ system of pleading, meaning that parties are required to furnish much more detail in their originating document. In England and Wales, and in Northern Ireland, potential for the action for discovery has been greatly expanded by the decision of the House of Lords in Ashworth v MGN. The last 10 years have also seen the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights in all parts of Ireland and Britain, which has had impacts on the right of access to journalists’ sources, and on the illegal obtaining of evidence
