Arbitration and Tribunal Hearings
Tenancy disputes can be both stressful and expensive when they proceed to arbitration or Tribunal. Where a landlord is
threatening an arbitration or Tribunal hearing, you may be deterred from pressing your case. TFA Farm Business Protector
Commercial Legal Protection Insurance will put you and your landlord on more equal terms so that where your landlord
had previously had the upper hand you will be in a position to consider arbitration or a Tribunal hearing where you have
a reasonable case without the risk that the costs involved will exceed the financial benefits to your farm business. TFA
members with the insurance report that their landlords are more willing to come to an agreement more quickly than risk going
to arbitration or Tribunal.
Please complete in BLOCK capitals.

Employment Disputes and Compensation Awards
Employment law is changing all the time and even if you are employing labour only on a casual basis you may find you end up
in a dispute. Being unaware of the law is no defence if a legitimate claim is made against you. TFA Farm Business Protector
Commercial Legal Protection Insurance combined with a free 24 hour legal helpline will help you stay on the right side of
the law. If a dispute does occur you will be provided with someone to negotiate on your behalf and provide your defence at an
employment Tribunal. Not only will the insurance cover your costs but, providing you follow the advice of the insurers, where
an award is made against you, the insurance will cover it.
