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 1 September 2024.

In relation to any application to which this paragraph applies, Part 4 of the 1986 Act continues to apply on and after 1 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” (“Deddf 1986”) means the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986^f1;

• “application” (“cais”) 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.
