“Notice of praecipe and reconveyance “in local free paper

Mo Ghile Mear

There’s a half page in the local free paper taken up with notices with the above title. Named individuals making some kind of declaration or application worded in some gobbledygook jargon. What’s it all about? Haven’t seen it before.

Is it freeman nonsense? I think this was a thing in Australia a few years ago. Basically, "Stop calling me by my name and making a profit from my existence by making me pay tax."

Edit: This wasn't the thing I saw a few years ago but it looks similar. https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1cbt5no/interesting_notice_in_the_local_paper/#lightbox

It's public notice of change of property ownership. It's one of those legal requirements that seem archaic nowadays.

Looking more and more freemanish…

"Reconveyance" is not a term used in Irish law. It does turn up in US conveyancing practice — when a mortgage is paid off the mortgaged land is "reconveyed" to the borrower. But in Ireland we would say that the mortgage is released, or discharged, or vacated, rather than that the land is reconveyed.

The term "praecipe" is used in Ireland. It's a fairly low-level administrative document; a request made to the court to issue an order of some kind. So if you want the court to issue a summons to a particular witness to testify in your proceedings, you lodge a praecipe for a summons, and the summons duly issues. There's absolutely no requirement to publish notices in the public press announcing that you are going to lodge a praecipe.

So, bottom line: there is no such thing as reconveyance in Ireland. We do have praecipes but not, obviously, praecipes for reconveyance. And we don't require publication of notices about praecipes.

So I think, yeah, this probably is Freemanish nonsense. The slavish copying of US legal terms that are not understood is one of the characteristics of Freemannery.
