[URL]https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/sustainable-farming-incentive-pilot-agreement-terms-and-conditions/sustainable-farming-incentive-pilot-agreement-terms-and-conditions[/URL] So much for DEFRA making the SFI easy to take part in without needing an adviser. That had clearly been written by a lawyer and needs another lawyer to explain its impact in simple terms. Why wasn't it written in plain English? This clause (which I expected to find and was dissappointed to be right) kills it for me and would probably lead any advising lawyer to recommend one didn't sign: [I]The Authority reserves the right to vary these Terms and Conditions or any other part of the Agreement at any time. Any variation will be effected in writing and notified to the Agreement Holder in advance. The Authority shall endeavour to give such notice as is reasonable and proportionate, having regard to the nature of the variation and its consequences for the Agreement Holder.[/I] in what other fields of business or private life would anybody sign ANY agreement with that clause in it?
