Paragraph 47 Compensation to outgoing landholder by incoming landholderI1

Scotland Not yet in force

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

This paragraph applies where an incoming tenant of a small landholding (the “incoming landholder”) agrees with the outgoing small landholder of the holding (the “outgoing landholder”) and the landlord of the holding to take on the outgoing landholder’s rights and liabilities in respect of any rights to compensation which would otherwise arise under this Part.

(2)

The incoming landholder is to be treated for the purposes of calculation of compensation under this Part as—

(a)

having been in occupation of the holding as the landholder during the outgoing landholder’s tenancy, and

(b)

having made or paid for any permanent improvements which were made or paid for by the outgoing landholder or the outgoing landholder’s predecessors under the same tenancy,

and, accordingly, the outgoing landholder has no right to, nor liability for, compensation under this Part.
