Regulation 3 Transitional Provision

Paragraph (2) applies to any application to the Tribunal made under Part 4 of the 1986 Act for a direction entitling the applicant to a tenancy of an agricultural holding on the death or retirement of a tenant where the date of death or the date of the giving of the retirement notice, as applicable, was before 1st September 2024.

In relation to any application to which this paragraph applies, Part 4 of the 1986 Act continues to apply on and after 1st September 2024 as it had effect immediately before that date, as if the amendments made by paragraphs 10 to 16 and 18 of Schedule 3 to the 2020 Act had not come into force.

In this regulation—

• “the 1986 Act” means the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986^f1;

• “application” includes any proceedings arising out of any such application or any direction given in any such proceedings.

Expressions used in this regulation and in Part 4 of the 1986 Act have the same meaning as in that Part.
