March 31st
2 - 4pm
Speaker: Stephen Farrell
Virtual Seminar
Implementation of much of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2014 has taken a considerable amount of time. Finally as of 1 March 2019, the eagerly awaited streamlined eviction process and amendments to short Scottish Secure Tenancy's comes into force. However, will these new powers deliver all that they promise?
This seminar will focus, firstly, on the changes introduced by the (Scotland) Act 2014 including;
and will consider the implications of the changes on dispute resolution moving forward.
The seminar will then turn to look at the issue of proportionality and whether this is simply a new term of reasonableness with a review of legislation and case law.
You will come away from the session with an understanding of how to revise a commercial lease to put your client in the best position with regards to dilapidations, and with an awareness of the arguments available to you if you are involved in a dispute over dilapidations.
The event begins at 2pm. Delegate registration is open from 1:30pm.
