Copyhold Act, 1887

In case of death proceedings not to abate.

31. If pending any proceedings commenced after the passing of this Act for enfranchisement under the Copyhold Acts the lord or tenant shall die, there shall be no abatement of the proceedings; any fresh admittance or enrolment consequent on such death and pending such proceedings shall be made without the payment of any fine, relief, or heriot to the lord; and the enfranchisement shall be proceeded with and the compensation shall be ascertained on the same footing as if the enfranchisement had been effected immediately after the commencement of proceedings.
