About us
First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber), Agricultural Land and Drainage (AL&D) plays an important role in settling disputes and other issues between agricultural tenants and landlords arising from tenancy agreements held under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986. They also consider applications under sections 28 and 30 of the Land Drainage Act 1991, in respect of certain drainage disputes between neighbours. There is no appeal to the First Tier Tribunal under the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995.
The main issues dealt with by AL&D are:
applications by close relatives of a deceased or retiring tenant to succeed to the tenancy
applications by landlords for consent to a notice to quit served on the tenant
applications for a direction to tend ditches or carry out drainage work on neighbouring land
applications by landlords for a certificate of bad husbandry on the ground that the tenant is not farming in accordance with the rules of good husbandry
applications by tenants for approval to carry out long-term improvements on the holding
applications for a direction to provide fixed equipment.
AL&D:
is an independent statutory body
is constituted afresh for hearing each case
consists of a Chairman and two lay members nominated by the Chairman.
The Regional Judge also has the discretion, rarely exercised, to nominate two Assessors from a panel of professional experts nominated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
