It was a pleasure working with Julie Hamilton and Lynsay Cargill. They provided a comprehensive instruction, which set out clear parameters for the scope of our input as well as excellent advice in regards to the legal scope of our opinion. Throughout the dispute they were extremely approachable and knowledgeable, while demonstrating their firm grasp of the complex commercial issues which existed in the case.

The recent case of Ventgrove Limited v Kuehne + Nagel Limited [2022] CSIH 40 has highlighted the importance of parties to a lease understanding their obligations and ensuring they are properly exercised. The repercussions of not doing so can be considerable.
The Scottish Law Commission has today published a Report recommending a new set of rules for the ending of leases of commercial property in Scotland, replacing the existing common law of tacit relocation. The Report makes various recommendations for reform of the existing law as it applies to commercial leases (not residential, agricultural or crofting leases).
The Scottish Government has confirmed that the Scottish Land Court and the Lands Tribunal for Scotland are to be unified to form an expanded Scottish Land Court.
