Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant could invoke the exception for maintaining a long-term lease of a farm under Art. 64(1)(a) LDFR.
Decisione estratta
The exception was not proven because no sufficiently concrete and reliable lease continuation was shown after the existing lease ended.
Motivazione estratta
The court accepted that maintaining an affermage can justify an exception, but held that mere intentions were insufficient. The appellant had not established a renewed lease, a contract with a new operator, or another serious commitment to continue the affermage.
