- (ii) under section 5B of this Act,
have been initiated; and
- (b) that the period allowed the crofter by virtue of subsection (4) below has elapsed,
the Commission may make an application to the Land Court in relation to the breach; but this subsection is subject to subsection (3) below.
- (3) Except where the complaint was by the landlord, the Commission shall give him written notice of their intention to make the application; and if within 14 days after receipt of that notice he gives them intimation that he objects, being intimation of the description given in subsection (7) below, they shall not proceed with the application.
- (4) Before making the application, the Commission shall give written notice to the crofter of the breach complained of and give him the opportunity to remedy it within such reasonable period as they shall specify in the notice.

#### Termination of tenancy for misuse or neglect
##### 5B
- (1) Without prejudice to any right which the landlord has to initiate proceedings in relation to a breach of the statutory conditions as respects a croft, if the crofter—

- (b) neglects,
the croft, the landlord or, with the consent of the landlord, the Commission may apply to the Land Court for an order—
- (i) terminating the tenancy;
- (ii) declaring the croft to be vacant; and
- (iii) for the removal of the tenant from the croft.
- (2) Before making an application by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above the landlord, or as the case may be the Commission, shall give written notice to the crofter of the misuse complained of and give him the opportunity to end that misuse within a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notice is given.
- (3) Where, on an application made by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above, the Court is minded to make the order applied for, it shall so notify the crofter but shall not make the order (the crofter being advised accordingly in the notification) if, by the end of a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notification is given, he is able to satisfy the Court that the misuse has been brought to an end.
- (4) If the circumstances are that an application made by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above (in this section, the “current application”) is being made within 5 years after another application made by virtue of that paragraph as respects the croft, and that other application resulted in notification being given to the crofter under subsection (5) or (6) below, then before making the current application the landlord, or as the case may be the Commission, shall give written notice to the crofter of the neglect complained of and give him the opportunity to end that neglect within a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notice is given.
- (5) Where, on an application made by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above in circumstances other than are mentioned in subsection (4) above, the Court is minded to make the order applied for, it shall so notify the crofter but shall not make the order (the crofter being advised accordingly in the notification) if—
- (a) the crofter agrees forthwith that there has been neglect and undertakes to end that neglect; and
- (b) by the end of a period of one year commencing with the day on which notification is given, he is able to satisfy the Court that the croft is being managed so as to meet the standards mentioned in subsection (7) below.
- (6) Where, on an application made by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (4) above, the Court is minded to make the order applied for, it shall so notify the crofter but shall not make the order (the crofter being advised accordingly in the notification) if, by the end of a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notification is given, he is able to satisfy the Court that the croft is being managed so as to meet the standards mentioned in subsection (7) below.
- (7) For the purposes of subsection (1) above, a crofter—
- “misuses” a croft where he wilfully and knowingly uses it otherwise than for the purpose of its being cultivated or put to such other purposeful use as is duly consented to by virtue of section 5(7) of this Act;
- “neglects” a croft where the croft is not managed so as to meet the standards of good agricultural and environmental condition referred to in regulation 4 of, and the Schedule to, the Common Agricultural Policy Schemes (Cross-Compliance) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004 No. 518).
- (8) But where the crofter, for the purpose of conserving—
- (a) the natural beauty of the locality of the croft; or
- (b) the flora and fauna of that locality,
engages in, or refrains from, an activity, his so engaging or refraining is not, for the purposes of subsection (1) above, to be treated as misuse or neglect as respects the croft.
- (9) If, immediately before the coming into force of section 8 of the Crofting Reform etc. Act 2007 (asp 7), the croft was being used for a subsidiary or auxiliary occupation by virtue of the right conferred by paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to this Act (as that paragraph then applied), any continuation of use for that occupation is not, for the purposes of subsection (1) above, to be treated as misuse or neglect as respects the croft.
- (10) The Scottish Ministers may by order made by statutory instrument amend the definition of “neglects” in subsection (7) so as to substitute different standards for those for the time being mentioned in that subsection.
- (11) A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (10) shall not be made unless a draft of the instrument has been—

being developed in accordance with a scheme appended to the application; or
- (b) may intimate to that Court that every person who has rights in or over croft land or a common grazing consents to its being developed in accordance with a scheme appended to the intimation,
and the applicant shall send a copy of the application or as the case may be of the intimation (and, in either case, of the appended scheme) to the Commission.
- (2) Consent under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above is not to be given unless the Court is satisfied—
- (a) that the development is for a reasonable purpose;
- (b) that to carry it out would not be unfair;
- (c) that the scheme provides for there to be fair recompense to each member of the crofting community in the area affected by the development for the effects of the development (including, in relation to the croft land of each such member, recompense at least equivalent to the recompense which the member might be expected to have obtained had that croft land been resumed); and
- (d) that, were the development carried out—
- (i) that community would be likely to benefit financially; and
- (ii) such benefit would be at least commensurate with any financial benefit which the members of that community might obtain on the development proceeding other than by virtue of this section.
- (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above—
- (a) the definition of “reasonable purpose” in subsection (3) of section 20 of this Act applies as it does for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section;
- (b) it is unfair to carry out a development only where to do so would have significant adverse consequences for one or more of the members of the crofting community in the area affected by the development and either those consequences would be disproportionately greater than the adverse consequences for the other members of that community or there would be no adverse consequences for those other members;
- (c) whether recompense is fair is to be determined having regard both to the value of the development and to its effect on the member in question; and
- (d) an effect for which there is to be fair recompense may be an effect of any kind whatsoever (and in particular need not be an effect on a croft qua croft).
- (4) An application under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above or intimation under paragraph (b) of that subsection shall—
- (a) be made in such form; and
- (b) be accompanied by such fee,

- (a) the Commission; or
- (b) any other interested party,
may submit to the Court written objections, on one or more of the grounds mentioned in subsection (8) below, as respects the application or intimation; and the Court shall hear the objectors (if any) before determining whether to give consent under this section or as the case may be before determining whether to proceed under subsection (10) below as respects the intimation.
- (8) The grounds are—
- (a) that the development is not for a reasonable purpose (the definition of “reasonable purpose” in subsection (3) of section 20 of this Act applying for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section);
- (b) that to carry out the development would be unfair to the crofting community;
- (c) in the case of a submission under paragraph (a) of subsection (7) above, that the scheme does not provide for there to be fair recompense to each member of the crofting community;
- (d) in the case of a submission under paragraph (b) of subsection (7) above—
- (i) that to carry out the development would be unfair to the objector;
- (ii) that the scheme does not provide for there to be fair recompense to the objector;
- (e) that, were the development to be carried out, the crofting community would be unlikely to benefit financially;
- (f) that, were the development to be carried out, any financial benefit to the crofting community would not be as mentioned in sub-paragraph (ii) of subsection (2)(d) above.
- (9) The Court shall, whether or not there is a hearing under subsection (7) above, give reasons for any such determination.
- (10) On—
- (a) giving consent under this section; or
- (b) determining to proceed under this subsection as respects an intimation,
the Court shall advise the Commission that it has done so and provide them with a copy of the scheme in accordance with which the development is to take place; and the Commission shall enter that copy in the Register of Crofts.
- (11) When so entered the scheme shall, in so far as its terms so provide, be binding on—
- (a) the landlord (or owner);
- (b) any member of the crofting community in the area affected by the development;
- (c) any person who, though not described in paragraph (b) above, is—
- (i) a tenant of a croft; or

in that area; and

#### Termination of tenancy for misuse or neglect

the croft, the landlord or, with the consent of the landlord, the Commission may apply to the Land Court for an order—
- (i) terminating the tenancy;
- (ii) declaring the croft to be vacant; and

- (2) Before making an application by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above the landlord, or as the case may be the Commission, shall give written notice to the crofter of the misuse complained of and give him the opportunity to end that misuse within a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notice is given.
- (3) Where, on an application made by virtue of paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above, the Court is minded to make the order applied for, it shall so notify the crofter but shall not make the order (the crofter being advised accordingly in the notification) if, by the end of a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notification is given, he is able to satisfy the Court that the misuse has been brought to an end.
- (4) If the circumstances are that an application made by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above (in this section, the “current application”) is being made within 5 years after another application made by virtue of that paragraph as respects the croft, and that other application resulted in notification being given to the crofter under subsection (5) or (6) below, then before making the current application the landlord, or as the case may be the Commission, shall give written notice to the crofter of the neglect complained of and give him the opportunity to end that neglect within a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notice is given.
- (5) Where, on an application made by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above in circumstances other than are mentioned in subsection (4) above, the Court is minded to make the order applied for, it shall so notify the crofter but shall not make the order (the crofter being advised accordingly in the notification) if—

- (6) Where, on an application made by virtue of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) above in the circumstances mentioned in subsection (4) above, the Court is minded to make the order applied for, it shall so notify the crofter but shall not make the order (the crofter being advised accordingly in the notification) if, by the end of a period of 42 days commencing with the day on which notification is given, he is able to satisfy the Court that the croft is being managed so as to meet the standards mentioned in subsection (7) below.
- (7) For the purposes of subsection (1) above, a crofter—
- “misuses” a croft where he wilfully and knowingly uses it otherwise than for the purpose of its being cultivated or put to such other purposeful use as is duly consented to by virtue of section 5(7) of this Act;
- “neglects” a croft where the croft is not managed so as to meet the standards of good agricultural and environmental condition referred to in regulation 4 of, and the Schedule to, the Common Agricultural Policy Schemes (Cross-Compliance) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004 No. 518).
- (8) But where the crofter, for the purpose of conserving—
- (a) the natural beauty of the locality of the croft; or
- (b) the flora and fauna of that locality,
engages in, or refrains from, an activity, his so engaging or refraining is not, for the purposes of subsection (1) above, to be treated as misuse or neglect as respects the croft.
- (9) If, immediately before the coming into force of section 8 of the Crofting Reform etc. Act 2007 (asp 7), the croft was being used for a subsidiary or auxiliary occupation by virtue of the right conferred by paragraph 3 of Schedule 2 to this Act (as that paragraph then applied), any continuation of use for that occupation is not, for the purposes of subsection (1) above, to be treated as misuse or neglect as respects the croft.

being developed in accordance with a scheme appended to the application; or
- (b) may intimate to that Court that every person who has rights in or over croft land or a common grazing consents to its being developed in accordance with a scheme appended to the intimation,
and the applicant shall send a copy of the application or as the case may be of the intimation (and, in either case, of the appended scheme) to the Commission.
- (2) Consent under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above is not to be given unless the Court is satisfied—
- (a) that the development is for a reasonable purpose;
- (b) that to carry it out would not be unfair;
- (c) that the scheme provides for there to be fair recompense to each member of the crofting community in the area affected by the development for the effects of the development (including, in relation to the croft land of each such member, recompense at least equivalent to the recompense which the member might be expected to have obtained had that croft land been resumed); and
- (d) that, were the development carried out—
- (i) that community would be likely to benefit financially; and
- (ii) such benefit would be at least commensurate with any financial benefit which the members of that community might obtain on the development proceeding other than by virtue of this section.
- (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) above—
- (a) the definition of “reasonable purpose” in subsection (3) of section 20 of this Act applies as it does for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section;
- (b) it is unfair to carry out a development only where to do so would have significant adverse consequences for one or more of the members of the crofting community in the area affected by the development and either those consequences would be disproportionately greater than the adverse consequences for the other members of that community or there would be no adverse consequences for those other members;
- (c) whether recompense is fair is to be determined having regard both to the value of the development and to its effect on the member in question; and
- (d) an effect for which there is to be fair recompense may be an effect of any kind whatsoever (and in particular need not be an effect on a croft qua croft).
- (4) An application under paragraph (a) of subsection (1) above or intimation under paragraph (b) of that subsection shall—
- (a) be made in such form; and
- (b) be accompanied by such fee,
as the Court shall specify; and the Court may make different provision for different categories of case.
- (5) Provision made under subsection (4)(a) above shall include provision as to the form and content of the appended scheme.

- (a) the Commission; or
- (b) any other interested party,
may submit to the Court written objections, on one or more of the grounds mentioned in subsection (8) below, as respects the application or intimation; and the Court shall hear the objectors (if any) before determining whether to give consent under this section or as the case may be before determining whether to proceed under subsection (10) below as respects the intimation.
- (8) The grounds are—
- (a) that the development is not for a reasonable purpose (the definition of “reasonable purpose” in subsection (3) of section 20 of this Act applying for the purposes of this paragraph as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1) of that section);
- (b) that to carry out the development would be unfair to the crofting community;
- (c) in the case of a submission under paragraph (a) of subsection (7) above, that the scheme does not provide for there to be fair recompense to each member of the crofting community;
- (d) in the case of a submission under paragraph (b) of subsection (7) above—
- (i) that to carry out the development would be unfair to the objector;
- (ii) that the scheme does not provide for there to be fair recompense to the objector;
- (e) that, were the development to be carried out, the crofting community would be unlikely to benefit financially;
- (f) that, were the development to be carried out, any financial benefit to the crofting community would not be as mentioned in sub-paragraph (ii) of subsection (2)(d) above.
- (9) The Court shall, whether or not there is a hearing under subsection (7) above, give reasons for any such determination.
- (10) On—
- (a) giving consent under this section; or
- (b) determining to proceed under this subsection as respects an intimation,
the Court shall advise the Commission that it has done so and provide them with a copy of the scheme in accordance with which the development is to take place; and the Commission shall enter that copy in the Register of Crofts.
- (11) When so entered the scheme shall, in so far as its terms so provide, be binding on—
- (a) the landlord (or owner);
- (b) any member of the crofting community in the area affected by the development;
- (c) any person who, though not described in paragraph (b) above, is—
- (i) a tenant of a croft; or
- (ii) a holder of grazing rights,
in that area; and
- (d) the successors to the persons mentioned in paragraphs (a) to (c) above.
