A Waiver And Release of Lien is a crucial document in Irish construction and property development projects, used when a contractor, subcontractor, or supplier needs to formally relinquish their right to file a lien against a property. This document is typically required before final payment is released or at specific project milestones. It serves as protection for property owners and developers while providing a clear record of payment and lien waiver. Under Irish law, particularly the Construction Contracts Act 2013, this document must include specific elements such as proper party identification, clear property description, payment acknowledgment, and explicit waiver language. The document may be conditional (pending payment) or unconditional (after payment received), and can be either partial (for specific work phases) or final (for entire project completion).

1. Parties: Identifies all parties to the waiver, including the lien holder (contractor/subcontractor) and the property owner or general contractor receiving the waiver

2. Background: Describes the context of the original contract, work performed, and the circumstances leading to the lien waiver

3. Definitions: Defines key terms used in the document, including property description, contract references, and payment amounts

4. Property Description: Detailed legal description of the property against which the lien rights are being waived

5. Waiver and Release: Core section containing the explicit waiver language and release of lien rights

6. Acknowledgment of Payment: Confirmation of payment received or to be received, including specific amounts

7. Representations and Warranties: Statements confirming the lien holder's authority to execute the waiver and that no assignment of lien rights has occurred

8. Governing Law: Specifies that Irish law governs the waiver and its interpretation

9. Execution: Signature blocks and execution requirements, including witness provisions if required
