The Avian Influenza (Slaughter and Vaccination) (Scotland) Regulations 2006

Change of occupation of premises under restriction

19.—(1) This regulation applies if the keeper of any poultry or other captive bird is unable to move it from premises on the termination of the keeper’s right of occupation because of a movement restriction imposed by or under these Regulations and continues to apply for seven days after any such restriction has been removed.

(2) Where this regulation applies, the person entitled to occupation of the premises on that termination must–

(a) provide such facilities for feeding, tending or otherwise using the poultry or other captive bird (including selling it) as the keeper may reasonably require; and

(b) allow entry to the premises to that keeper and any person authorised by that keeper at reasonable times for feeding, tending or otherwise using the poultry or other captive bird.

(3) If the keeper is unable or unwilling to feed or tend the poultry or other captive bird, the person entitled to occupation of the premises shall take such steps as are necessary to ensure it is properly fed and tended.

(4) The keeper of the poultry or other captive bird is liable to pay the reasonable costs (including accommodation costs) incurred under this regulation by any person feeding or tending it, or providing facilities for feeding, tending or otherwise using it.
