Glasgow’s Licensing Board has agreed to allow one additional hour from the terminal hour when the UCI Cycling World Championships 2023 takes place in August.

We are delighted to welcome Tracy Dempsey who has joined the Private Client Department as a paralegal.

Tracy is a Law Society of Scotland accredited paralegal specialising in Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and Executries.

As landlords and tenants alike will be aware, there has been a temporary ban on rent increases for those subject to a private residential tenancy since September 2022. This was part of the Scottish Government’s emergency response to the ongoing Cost of Living Crisis (The Cost of Living (Tenant Protection) Act). 

The termination of leases in Scotland has been the subject of some discussion and, at times, can cause confusion, specifically the common law doctrine of Tacit Relocation. Tacit Relocation means that a lease will be automatically extended beyond its natural expiry or end date when the appropriate termination notice or notice to quit has not been served by either party.
