Agricultural Law, Tax and Finance not only deals with the traditional areas of agricultural holdings and farm cottages under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 and the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995; it also covers areas such as contracts and agreements, regulations, controls and quotas, property and environmental law, diversification and insolvency. It includes full coverage of the all-important tax and finance aspects, and deals with virtually every problem or situation confronting farmers and their advisers. The work also includes a selection of precedents for agricultural tenancies.
