Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1949

Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).

21Right of landlord to object to heir-at-law of tenant succeeding to holding

(1)Within three months after the right to the lease of an agricultural holding devolves upon the heir-at-law of the tenant the landlord, if he objects to receive the heir-at-law as tenant under the lease, may make application to the Land Court for an order terminating the interest of the heir-at-law in the holding.

(2)If on the hearing of such application any reasonable ground of objection is established to the satisfaction of the Land Court, they shall make an order terminating the interest of the heir-at-law in, and requiring him to give up his occupation of, the holding.

(3)The termination of the interest of the heir-at-law under this section shall be treated, for the purposes of the provisions of this Act with respect to compensation, as the termination of his tenancy of the holding; but nothing in this section shall be construed as entitling him to any compensation for disturbance.

(4)The Land Court may, on cause shown, direct that while proceedings are pending under this section the heir-at-law shall not have possession of the holding.
