Does the purchase of part of a croft by a tenant crofter from his landlord require to be preceded by a division application approved by the Commission?

Under Section 19D only an owner-occupier crofter is required to apply to divide the croft into the part he/she intends to retain and the part he/she intends to sell. In our view a tenant purchasing is not required to apply to divide the croft prior to purchasing a part of the croft. Following purchase he/she will be the owner of the part of the croft which was purchased, and tenant of the remainder.
