S.L. 573.6 Art. 10Agricultural land and buildings held  in solidum. 

(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of regulation 3, a person holding agricultural land and, or a building on agricultural land owned by the Government of Malta under a valid title in his name, held with several other persons, may transfer his in solidum entire share, or part thereof, to a third party:

Provided that such person shall duly serve notice to all other lessees and provide them with the opportunity to submit to the Authority a reasoned objection within thirty (30) days from notice and the Authority shall decide whether such reasons are valid and sufficient to refuse such consent. The decision of the Authority shall be in writing and shall contain detailed reasons.

(1A) (a) the notice which shall be served to all other lessees shall contain a site plan and description of the site and it may be served or given:

(i) by a registered letter addressed to the lessees at the place of residence or the available address for service; or

(ii) in any case in which it is not reasonably possible to effect service by a registered letter, by affixing the notice that shall be served or given in a conspicuous place on the agricultural land to which it relates and keeping it so affixed for five (5) working days, and by publishing the notice in a local newspaper. Where the notice is affixed on the agricultural land but is removed before the expiry period of five (5) working days, the re-affixing of the notice, or other instrument or document shall only be for the remaining period after the document was removed;

(b) a person who at any time after a notice is affixed pursuant to sub-regulation (1A)(a)(ii), removes, damages or defaces the notice without lawful authority shall be considered to be in breach of the provisions of article 7 of the Government Lands Act.

(2) The limitations imposed in sub-regulation (1) shall not apply if the agricultural land or part thereof is returned to the Authority.
