Excerpt from Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest: Being the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restrictions) Act, 1920 WE wrote in the Preface to the last edition: The Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (restric tions) Act, 1920, while it is founded on and very largely embodies the language, of earlier statutes, may fairly claim to be treated as new legislation. It contains many fresh provisions, and even where the old wording of the former Acts is incorporated, it is sometimes with such a change in general Scheme and arrangement as to produce radically different results. Unless indeed this is borne in mind, familiarity with the now superseded provisions is apt to prove absolutely misleading in dealing with the present Act. For this reason we have, it is believed, incorporated all reported decisions on the former Acts, not only those relevant and authoritative as to this Act, but also those whose authority is now spent or become doubtful, so that opportunity might be taken to indicate Where the fact is so.
