HC Deb 12 December 1973 vol 866 c158W
25. Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will seek to amend the Agricultural Holdings Act 1948 to provide that where a landlord takes proceedings under Section 24 unsuccessfully he will be required to pay the cost of such proceedings and be unable to take similar proceedings for a period of two years.

Mr. Anthony Stodart

No. This would be no improvement on the existing law, under which the award of costs againstfrivolous, vexatious or oppressive litigants

is at the discretion of the tribunal or the arbitrator.
