Latest CPR update: the rest; no more meetings; & don’t discount a withdrawal.

CPR LATEST: TAKE TWO

For the first dose of the 88th CPR update including the Civil Procedure (Amendment) Rules 2017 (SI 2017/95), extract from the trash can "Civil way", NLJ, 24 February 2017, p17.

“Just a half of PD56, barman” The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 Pt 4, the Pubs Code etc Regulations 2016 (SI 2016/790) and the Pubs Code (Fees, Costs and Financial Penalties) Regulations 2016 (SI 2016/802) are up and hiccupping. The code establishes the right of a tied tenant to take a free of tie rent option at certain trigger points such as rent review and lease renewal. To be caught the landlord must own at least 500 tied pubs which would appear to take in six companies in England and Wales. PD56 on landlord and tenant claims is extended as from 6 March 2017 to cover pub code cases. Cheers.
