Farming and the Law is a unique publication offering a comprehensive overview of many of the legal issues that farmers encounter in what has become an increasingly complex and regulated environment. The law can be an intimidating topic and many farmers can feel overwhelmed and increasingly encumbered by legal requirements and the implications for the decisions they make in the running of their farms. The author, Karen Walsh, has written this book with the lay-person in mind in a bid to demystify and decipher the often incomprehensible jargon associated with the law as it relates to fanning and to help inform farmers and landowners for decisions that they make every day. Contents include: Property Law, Defending your Dwelling, Occupier's Liability, Transferring the Family Farm, Wills, Administering an Estate and Enduring Powers of Attorney, Land Leasing, Solar Farms and Wind Farms, Animals and the Law, The Law on Shrubs, Trees. Hedges, Drainage and Public Roads, Collaborative Farming, Family Law and the Farm, Planning Law, Employment Law, Health and Safety on the Farm Farming and the Law is an essential book for all farmers, persons working in or around farms, farming agencies and support organisations, solicitors, barristers, and anyone interested in the legal issues that affect farming.
