ABSTRACT
When will a tenancy cease to be governed by the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986?
Answer
If the actual contemplated use of the land at the time of the contract of letting and subsequently is predominantly agricultural, it will all be an agricultural holding. It is not possible for part of the holding to be agricultural and part not (s 1(2) of the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986; Howkins v Jardin [1951] 1 All ER 320).
