The termination of a commercial Lease is something that needs to be approached with great caution and attention-to-detail. A failure to take account of essential/current law and practice could result in a significant claim against the solicitor(s) involved in the transaction, and the consequences for the Landlord or Tenant will be significant. A Practical Guide to Terminating Commercial Leases in Scotland is designed to be a concise, yet definitive, guide for solicitors and students alike. It encompasses a summary of relevant statutes and case law throughout, and covers both voluntary termination and involuntary termination alike. The book covers: Constitution of a Lease - the essential elements required by Scots Law in order to create a Lease; Break Options - including a detailed analysis of essential cases on service, correct recipients, notice periods, conditionality, apportionment of rent, and errors of content; Irritancy - including a detailed analysis of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1985, and leading cases thereto, on both monetary and non-monetary breaches; Automatic termination (including separate chapters on both confusio and rei interitus); Voluntary termination (Renunciation); and Termination at Natural Expiry and the impact of tacit relocation (including statutory protection and a detailed analysis of the leading cases in this often complex and detailed area of law).

Professor Robert Rennie has been one of the most influential voices in Scots private law over the past thirty years. Highly respected as both an academic and a practitioner, his contribution to the development of property law and practice has been substantial and unique. This volume celebrates his retirement from the Chair of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow in 2014 with a selection of essays written by his peers and colleagues from the judiciary, academia and legal practice. Each chapter covers a topic of particular interest to Professor Rennie during his career, from the historical development of property law rules through to the latest developments in conveyancing practice and the evolution of the rules of professional negligence. Although primarily Scottish in focus, the contributions will have much of interest to lawyers in any jurisdiction struggling with similar practical problems, particularly those with similar legal roots including the Netherlands and South Africa. As a whole, the collection is highly recommended to students, practitioners and academics.

W M Gordon, who retired from the Douglas Chair of Civil Law at the University of Glasgow in 1999, is well known for his distinguished contribution to Roman law, legal history and land law. He is the author of several books in these subject areas, but it is a mark of his international eminence that much of his prolific output has been published in a wide variety of journals and essay collections outside, as well as within, the UK. This important collection draws together in an accessible format much of his most important writing and, as such, will be in indispensable purchase for all those interested in these core areas of legal scholarship.
