Sporting rights over rural property
The concept of huntin’, shootin’ and fishin’ produces charming mental and physical sketches of country pursuits, but the reality is that all three are often part of a commercial enterprise and all three are subject to strict legal control enforced by the police, environment agency and other official bodies.
If you are involved in the organisation of any of them you have got to do it correctly and this may need legal advice and support.
Safe commercial and legal background
Furley Page can help to provide a safe commercial and legal background to the provision of these pursuits.
Consideration should be given to some or all of the following:
- The land (or waters): Who owns it and what if any sporting lease or similar is needed?
- Employees: (keepers, beaters, bailiffs, hunt staff): are they employed or self employed?
- Employment Contracts
- National Insurance
- Is what is being run a separate business?
- Business structure
- VAT registration
- Licences
- Health & Safety
- Insurance
As with so many business related matters close liaison between the client’s lawyer and accountant is often crucial in producing the best overall scheme.
