Agricultural Land Tribunal

English Legal System: Agricultural Land Tribunal

In the context of the English law, A Dictionary of Law provides the following legal concept of Agricultural Land Tribunal : A tribunal having statutory functions in relation to tenancies of agricultural holdings. It normally consists of a legally qualified chairman, a representative farmer, and a representative landowner. Notice to quit a holding is in certain circumstances inoperative without a tribunal’s consent, and on the death of a tenant the tribunal has power to direct that a qualifying member of his family is entitled to a new tenancy. Application may also be made to the tribunal for a certificate of bad husbandry.
