Key legal question
Whether Art. 24ter EGG allows a second extension of an agricultural lease after one extension has already been granted.
Extracted holding
No. The provision permits only a single extension of the lease; a repeated extension is not available.
Extracted reasoning
The text of Art. 24ter EGG, especially when compared with the express two-step extension regime in Art. 267a-f OR, shows that the legislature intentionally provided only one extension for leases. The procedural deadlines in Art. 24ter(3) EGG also confirm that a second extension was not intended. Legislative materials support this interpretation.
