The termination of a commercial lease in Scotland is an almost guaranteed generator of disputes, whether ended naturally at term, or through irritancy. Craig Connal QC, a specialist litigator in Pinsent Masons LLP, will guide delegates through what can be the minefield of end of lease rights and obligations, including an examination and best practice guide to:

  • Termination provisions
  • Default – including tenant’s insolvency
  • Expiry – tacit relocation
  • Notices
  • Dilapidations and repairs
  • At the end of the session delegates should have a clear understanding of:

  • The practical impact of recent cases on termination provisions in a lease
  • The rules on irritancy
  • Drafting and complying with notice provisions – how to avoid falling into a pit!
  • Repair clauses – and dilapidations
  • The event begins at 2pm. Delegate registration is open from 1:30pm.
