The Hon. Ravi Karunanayake
Hon. Ravi Karunanayake raised a point of order challenging the Minister’s statement that no court cases had been filed, citing information that Prime Lands, Blue Ocean, Home Lands and several temples had already initiated legal action. He sought clarification on whether the Bill applies only to premises covered by the Rent Act No. 7 of 1972 or has wider application, noting potential implications for investor confidence.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. Hon. Minister, you said no one went to Court. I am informed by Hon. Chamara Sampath that Prime Lands, Blue Ocean, Home Lands and several temples have already filed cases. Also, does this Bill apply only to premises covered by the Rent Act No. 7 of 1972, or more broadly? Please clarify, as investor confidence will be affected.
