156.Subsection (1) repeals section 43(4)(c) of the 1991 Act. The effect of this repeal is to remove the limit on the level of compensation for disturbance (previously 2 years’ rent of the holding) to which a tenant of a 1991 Act tenancy is entitled under section 43 of the 1991 Act.
157.Subsection (2) amends section 52 of the 1991 Act which previously provided that a tenant of a 1991 Act tenancy may have anything from one month up to 13 months in which to submit a claim for damage to the tenant’s crops by game, depending on when within an agreed 12-month period the damage occurs. The effect of this amendment is to require the tenant of a 1991 Act tenancy to submit such a claim for compensation within 6 months of the date on which the tenant notified the landlord of the damage under section 52(2)(a) of the 1991 Act.
