This book is an introduction for the non-specialist practitioner. It aims to guide the reader round some of the main landmarks of the law of agricultural tenancies in England and Wales. Its approach is practical and not academic. Along the way it points out some of the biggest pitfalls to avoid. Hopefully, it will give the reader enough knowledge to be able to identify an agricultural law problem when they see one, and, having done so, to know that the problem may have to be dealt with using special tools, rather than by mixing and matching knowledge from other forms of commercial land-holding (such as business tenancies under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954). As well as updating the text of the first (2019) edition to take account of legislative changes, the second edition includes some entirely new material on 'Special Case' Notices to Quit, dispute resolution (including arbitration and third party determination), and discussion of some recent cases.
