  • COVID-19 Irritancy Restrictions Extended Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, tenants under a commercial lease could be evicted for non-payment of rent on as little as 14 days’ notice using irritancy provisions. In an effort to assist commercial tenants, the Scottish Government extended that notice period from 14 days to 14 weeks. The extension was due to stay in place until 30 September 2020.
  • Employment Statement from the Chancellor: New Jobs Support Scheme replaces Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme The Chancellor has announced the Government's new "Job Support Scheme" which will replace the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme from 1 November 2020 and is set to last for six months.
  • Real Estate The time is now – Unlocking commercial investments in Scottish forestry Despite the ongoing economic impact of the lockdown restrictions across the UK, the forestry sector in Scotland remains strong.
