Standard responses

Article Abstract:

The UK Law Society has issued a version of the Standard Conditions of Sale (SCS) standard contract form for commercial property transactions. The Standard Commercial Property Conditions (SCPC) is the same as the SCS in many respects, but important differences include provisions for the buyer to accept risk after exchange and simpler approaches to leases and late completion compensation. The SCPC form is more appropriate to commercial property dealings but it is still not applicable in all circumstances and special conditions will continue to be necessary.

Article Abstract:

The unanimous judgement of the House of Lords in Hindcastle Ltd v Barbara Attenborough Associates Ltd case is seen as a landmark decision, and of benefit to landlords. It relates to the issues of disclaimer in commercial leases and prior cases made the matter more complex for landlords.
