Agricultural Subsidies

Our expertise in relation to subsidies originates in the introduction of milk quota in 1984 and the disputes which inevitably developed.  We acted in a number of leading cases, including:

  • Puncknowle Farms Limited v. Kane
  • Faulks v. Faulks
  •  Swift v. Dairywise Farms Limited

Our expertise extends to the European Court:

  • R v. MAFF, ex p Bostock
  • Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce v. Penycoed Farming Partnership

With Jeremy Moody of the CAAV, William Neville is the joint author of "Mid-Term Review: a Practical Guide". The 9th edition of Scammell and Densham's Law of Agricultural Holdings also deals extensively with the Mid-Term Review of the Common Agricultural Policy.

Along with Peter Williams, William Neville leads this area, where associate Ben Sharples (a former land agent) has an enviable reputation (see Our People).
