Course description
The policy behind the introduction of Farm Business Tenancies in 1995 was to phase out tenancies subject to the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986.
However, the AHA 1986 remains a very significant influence in the farm tenanted sector, and without a sound knowledge of its provisions, a legal adviser will inevitably find that their ability to advise their farm and estate clients robustly is compromised.
The fact that the recent Agriculture Act 2020 made important changes to the AHA legislation shows the importance that the Government attaches to these tenancies.
Presented by Peter Snodgrass, a partner in the Agricultural Team at Shakespeare Martineau, this webinar will look carefully at some of the issues that arise when advising clients, and will also alert you to situations where AHA tenancies may have arisen - or may not have arisen - despite appearances.

Introduction
The policy behind the introduction of Farm Business Tenancies in 1995 was to phase out tenancies subject to the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986.
However, the AHA 1986 remains a very significant influence in the farm tenanted sector, and without a sound knowledge of its provisions, a legal adviser will inevitably find that their ability to advise their farm and estate clients robustly is compromised.
The fact that the recent Agriculture Act 2020 made important changes to the AHA legislation shows the importance that the Government attaches to these tenancies.
This webinar will look carefully at some of the issues that arise when advising clients, and will also alert you to situations where AHA tenancies may have arisen - or may not have arisen - despite appearances.
