The then landlord billed the then tenant for the work carried out . The then tenant refused to pay saying it was not his responsibility .

Ok, so where is the argument? what is the dispute?

There should be no argument , dispute or claims of vandalism regarding the croft house .

Maybe the landlord did not want to go down that route, because he was afraid a court would rule against him

I can assure you that was not the reason , no court would rule against him given the circumstances .

Much better to try to resolve a situation, the land court is not for the faint hearted and therefore, before going that route every effort must be made to try to resolve,
and in every case when the land court rules it leaves one party or the other disappointed,
a bottomless purse too is helpful when a dispute reaches that stage,

"..given the circumstances..", If you were so sure that no court would rule against you, then you must be a very philanthropically minded person to bear the loss you sustained.
n.b. Didn't the Crofting Commission rule against you in an earlier case?

Mrs Bradey
22-Nov-13, 19:27
The then tenant, refused to carry out H.R.C. order, to remove or renovate , the then landlord carried out the order , with the then tenants knowledge .as an outsider looking in. if the tenant of a croft was served an order to remove the roof, the order would apply to him only. him being in occupation. the landlord would have no obligation or requirement to intervene. if the order was not complied with, then the issuing authority would then take legal action against the tennant.in my view it appears that the landlord intervened in order to aggravate an already uneasy situation. the bill the landlord then sent to the tenant would not be for the tenant to pay, as the property is a croft the landlord has no legal right to force improvement works on the crofter. any enforcement or legal action would need to be taken by either the crofters commission or the issuer of the order. this is why no legal action was taken by the landlord as he was wrong to involve himself at all with any part of the running of a tenanted croft, land and livestock included. I think the pig is the lucky one, atleast she is at peace now!

Who raised the issue of the roof with the HC in the first place? They don't tend to just inspect buildings out of the blue.

Hopefully it has died a death and we can move on because this incident as well as other silly bickerings have caused so much destruction to the public image of Reay and to the reputation of those volunteers who work hard to make Reay a great place to live.

I am with you on this one..there is far more to this than meets the eye, for example successive landlords, did the second buy a tenanted croft? did the tenant come after the second landlord? why the croft is not owner occupied? could the tenant exercise his right to buy? why did the commission see fit to approve a tenant?
I know the laws/acts have changed forcing owners into whatever, but it would appear that this has caused more upset than was intended, I am sure.
And yes, you are spot on when it comes to pitfalls for the unwary and not just in Reay.

how can it be theif the animal was abandon on the property if the owner wanted and care for the pig he should have removed it when asked end of i just think this is a witch hunt on a in comer as they areoften refered to on here please note i do not refer to them as so every one for them selves every one has a place in the ecomony of the country

the abandoning of said animal is hearsay as is the allegation of neglect,
Mama was not stolen as such but she was treated inhumanely by being penned in such a small area, she was ultimately killed again for little or no reason..if this was one of my animals, if someone did this to one of mine..not only would I be shouting but I'd be suing the proverbial posterior off the person responsible not only for the value of the animal but for the loss of an animal capable of production for many years to come, any income however small is not something small farmers can do without.
Bad husbandry springs to mind.

was the aminal not left on a property when the said owner moved out whether he was the tentant or landlord lets say i rented a house and the landlord left their dog in the house when aked by ne the tentant to remove his dog and the land lord never this would be classed in the sspca would class this as the dog being abandon by its owner fact

The animal was put to sleep..it has been alleged that the animal had been either, abandoned or starved and yet an inspection just a few weeks previous claimed the animal was healthy,
which is it?
something is being hidden, not told, why? other than to hide something..poor old Mama!

An opinion on what? on that
the animal was unhealthy, suffering, starving..or what?
Or, that she was existing on land where she was clearly not wanted, she could have been sold..or returned from whence she came..she was in her prime and well capable of a few more years of production.

I believe this story has had its day, too many people are hamming it up, lots of others are getting the trots, I thought of this as i had bacon and eggs for lunch, so dice it slice it and smoke it yumyum. A better idea is to buy a little peeglet or two which are being advertised on the Farming doodaa on the org and we can all start again i'm sure we can give one each to the peeps involved and they can move on with their lives" i'll put a few shekels in for a starter, what say you peegsters:confused

Now that Christmas is nearly upon us maybe we can give a shout out for the turkeys, coz i really hope that they are being well cared for before the deadline, as for me its pork roast:confused

The abandonment/neglect/starvation of Mama..is hearsay..
autopsy is cheap enough, its the result that starts to cost the money, if its used in evidence..
for peace of mind, this would have been my option, now we shall never know, compensation to the animal's owner is all that is left together with an apology ought to put the matter to rest.

I don't think the thread should close, there are lessons to be learned here, quite apart from the obvious ones.
They say crofting law is complex and it is, however, I myself think that whilst the Acts appear straightforward enough there does appear to be great confusion even among those born into it,

I think that mi16 has hit the nail on the head when he/she said that this has become a balanced debate, one which has been a long time in coming and doubtless, may be welcomed by those people whose lives are affected in everyday crofting situations..a bit less of the I am alright Jack and a little more compassion would not go amiss.

For those who are fed up with the thread or who think it ought to die a death..dare I say..you are not legally obliged to participate. :)

Wig and Kiwi have (had) been engaged in a legal battle for some time and the pig was an unfortunate victim. Not having an understanding of crofting law i dont feel i can comment on the legality of a landlord keeping a pig on his tenants croft next to a domestic dwelling. I know Wig did try to move the beast at least once but she wouldn' t go in the trailer.

For anyone who is interested - Wig doesn't own the ponies. But I'm sure if anyone asked to speak to the rightful owners her legal guardians would oblige. By the way they are looked after and if some people do feed them carrots/apples/etc it is their choice to do so, and they shouldn't feel obliged to and for that matter any individuals doing so shouldn't be going around bad mouthing the owners either.

For anyone who is interested - Wig doesn't own the ponies. But I'm sure if anyone asked to speak to the rightful owners her legal guardians would oblige. By the way they are looked after and if some people do feed them carrots/apples/etc it is their choice to do so, and they shouldn't feel obliged to and for that matter any individuals doing so shouldn't be going around bad mouthing the owners either.

Ok then who owns the two shetland ponies on the Reay common grazings as they were out there by wig who had no shares None of the shareholders own them if you know Dogscrool ask them to move them to their own land

Well Claw I didn't know you were the owner of the commons so therefore you have no say in what or who's animals are there!

Did you not hear about the ritual killing and scarafice of ponies in the golf club carpark?Was the sacrficial killing in honour of the mutant goats of Reay, or as a offering to the gods to fend off the vampire monkeys from Portgower?

Can we have some form of ritual killing off the Dog walkers who think they can walk wherever they want and not clean up after their poor pets?
There seems no point to the right to roam rules when the offending walkers seem to be unable to read. Muppets!

I don't really get this and I am a vegitarian. It seems like its OK to kill animals, sometimes under terrible conditions, and eat them as long as you don't know (or at least think) about it. Yet humanly kill a pig in a field and everyone gets upset. I am not actually against eating meat - just generally prefer not to. So I don't object to the humane killing of meat animals that have been properly raised and can't see why it make any difference if pigs, horses dogs or even kittens.

He gave up on the thread, as did others when the banter became somewhat inane.

And rightly so special tartan your animal was destroyed by a thief and all evidence removed! If I was you I would fight for this as much as possible! Which I am sure you're capable of!
