PRACTICE NOTES
Farm business tenancies were introduced with effect from 1 September 1995 by the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 (ATA 1995). They represent a significant departure from the regime which applies where a tenancy of an agricultural holding is protected under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 (AHA 1986). Whereas AHA 1986 is largely prescriptive as to the terms of what constitutes a tenancy of an agricultural holding, ATA 1995 by and large allows the landlord and the tenant to agree whatever terms they wish on almost all matters. However, there are mandatory provisions in relation to: • rent (ATA 1995, Pt II) • compensation (ATA 1995, Pt III) • removal of tenant's fixtures (ATA 1995, s 8) The regimes applied by AHA 1986 and ATA 1995 are mutually exclusive, so it is imperative to identify correctly which form of tenancy is in issue. Moreover, if the tenancy is a farm business tenancy it cannot be a tenancy which is protected under the Part II of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 (LTA 1954).

The Farm to Fork strategy is part of the Green Deal and aims to address the challenges of producing and consuming food in a sustainable way. The Farm to Fork strategy addresses four key areas of supply chain management in the food industry: production, practices, consumption, and waste. Within this, it presents ideas on how to achieve better management of the four key topics, such as how future diets will need to change, and how mandatory labelling could become the norm where front-of-pack nutritional information as well as origin indication are required.
PRACTICE NOTES
Scope A farm-out is, in effect, a mechanism pursuant to which the owner of a participating interest in certain oil and gas assets (the Farmor) agrees to divest a percentage of its participating interest (the Assigned Interest) under a production sharing contract (the PSC) (or another host government agreement granting rights to hydrocarbons), to a third party (the Farmee), but instead of a cash consideration typical in a traditional sale, in a farm-out, the consideration is likely to be a combination of cash and fulfilment of certain work program obligations. Farming out provides the Farmor an opportunity to bring in a partner not only to recover its past costs invested in the project, or to share the financial burden going forward, but also to provide technical support and capabilities, which may not be otherwise available, as well as to share risk and potential uplift associated with an exploration asset. A farm-out agreement (the FOA) incorporates many characteristics of a traditional sale and purchase agreement, such as limitations on liability, pre-completion undertakings, warranties and indemnities

MLex: EU lawmakers endorsed legislation on Tuesday that allows the EU to swiftly suspend tariff preferences if agricultural imports from the Mercosur bloc risk serious harm to EU producers. The ‘farming safeguard’ introduces faster triggers, investigations and reinforced monitoring for sensitive products. The vote is the final parliamentary hurdle before the measure can be published and applied alongside the EU-Mercosur trade agreement.

NOTE—to see whether notification thresholds in the Faroe Islands and throughout the world are met, see further: Where to Notify. 1. Have there been any recent developments regarding the Faroese merger control regime and are any updates/developments expected in the coming year? Are there any other ‘hot’ merger control issues in the Faroe Islands? The latest amendment to the Faroese Competition Act (the Act) came into force on 26 March 2024, where filing fees were introduced. The Faroese Competition Authority (FCA) generally interprets the competition rules on the basis of EU competition law and in accordance with EU merger control. The Faroe Islands have adopted guidelines on merger-related issues. Currently, the guidelines are only available in Faroese. The guidelines can be found on the website of the FCA. However, an outdated version of the Act is available in English. To our knowledge, there are currently no specific 'hot' issues. 2. Under Faroese merger control law, is the control test the same as the EU concept of ‘decisive influence’? If not, how does it differ and what is the position

Restructuring & Insolvency analysis: The High Court has taken a measured approach in addressing applications by Joint Official Liquidators (JOLs) seeking oral examination of former Farfetch executives. In partially refusing these applications under Article 21 of the UNCITRAL Model Law, the court determined that written responses would suffice at this stage. The decision strikes a careful balance between the JOLs' information needs and protecting respondents from potential oppression while addressing practical concerns about confidentiality and jurisdiction. This ruling offers significant guidance on information-gathering powers in cross-border insolvencies. Written by Camilla Whitehouse, Barrister and Founder, Gainsborough Law.
