SEMINAR PROGRAMME

16.30: REGISTRATION

17:00: Arbitration under the 1986 Act
William Batstone, Guildhall Chambers

William’s talk will include an examination of conventional arbitration under the 1986 Act and the proposals for third party determination as an alternative to arbitration together with a review of the law on service of notices in the light of recent cases. It should be of interest to both solicitors and surveyors who deal with agricultural tenancy disputes.

17:45: TEA & COFFEE BREAK

17:55: Proprietary estoppel claims
Tim Walsh, Guildhall Chambers

Tim’s talk considers farming estoppel claims. Recent High Court and Court of Appeal decisions have seen a marked shift of emphasis in favour of estoppel claimants.  This talk considers those developments and the new “value judgment” approach to relief whilst broadly considering the building blocks of a claim.  It should be of interest to those both familiar with, and new to, the area.

18:40: DRINKS & CANAPES
