Agricultural Charges and Receivership

Agricultural charges created under the Agricultural Credits Act 1928 part II are a unique form of security. The security afforded by an agricultural charge differs significantly from the more familiar fixed and floating charges created by companies. Agricultural insolvency is a specialized area of insolvency practice and a thorough understanding of the 1928 Agricultural Credits Act is important. "Agricultural Charges and Receivership" examines all aspects of the creation and enforcement of agricultural charges. The author covers such topics as the creation and registration of agricultural charges and agricultural fixed and floating charges and a comparison with their corporate equivalents. He also considers enforcement methods including seizure and sale, and receivership. The relevant legislation and forms are set out in appendices.
