Absolute power was granted to Individuals or Corporations in England&#8217;s bid to colonise Ireland and one of these powers was the control and financial rewards of market trading.<\/p>\n<p>They were granted &#8220;Market Rights&#8221; by the English Crown in the form of complex and legally binding &#8220;charters&#8221; or &#8220;letters patent&#8221; that encompass special rights under English Law. Ireland&#8217;s legal system is based on English Law and so recognises and accepts the primacy of Market Rights.<\/p>\n<p>Market Rights that were granted four hundred years ago are still as valid now as they were then and in Ireland have constitutional protection. A &#8220;Market Right&#8221; is also the publics right to trade in a certain area, at a certain time. In Ireland and England complex laws have evolved in relation to Market Rights and on the whole reflect the general public&#8217;s need for the use of a market place .<\/p>\n<p>The right exists as much for the customer as it does for the seller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the Casual Trading Act 1995 , market rights unused in the 10 year period up to 1 May 2006 could be automatically extinguished .
