	A subtenant's lease is not protected under the Agricultural Holdings Act where the head lease is terminated by the landlord, but if the head tenant determines his own tenancy the sub-tenancy is protected and will be promoted in his stead: "the law will not allow a man, by an act done between him and another, to impair or destroy the rights which he has granted to a third party."

Howkins -v- Jardine [1951] 1 KB 614
1951 CA Somervell LJ, Jenkins LJ, Hodson J	Landlord and Tenant, Agriculture	Casemap 1 Citers
	There was a tenancy from year to year of 7 acres which had on them three cottages, which the tenant in fact sub-let to persons not engaged in agriculture. The tenancy itself contained provisions usual in agricultural tenancies, and the tenant used the land for agriculture. The judge held that the protection afforded to the tenant by the Act in invalidating a notice to quit was limited to land used for agriculture and did not extend to the cottages. Held: Either the whole of the property demised was subject to the protection of the Act or no part. It took as the test of whether or not the Act applied, whether or not the tenancy was in substance an agricultural tenancy
