Morrison`s Executors v Rendall

Morrison`s Executors v Rendall - 1989 - Scots Law Times (1989) SLT 89-95(7) .

Scottish Land Court 22 September 1989 Applications by landlords (M) under Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 1949 s24 for the court`s consent to the operation of a notice to quit . The notice was served on the tenant (R) on the ground of greater hardship and R tabled a preliminary plea in law directed to the valid ity of the notice to quit. The lease was from 1 March year to year . The notice to quit dated 24 February 1986 specified 28 February 1987 as the date of termination . R contended that the correct date of termination should have been 1 March 1987 and not 28 February 1987 and accordingly that the notice was invalid. R also pled that there was insufficient description of the lease in the notice. SLC held that the notice served by M sufficiently described the lease in question and that the correct date of determination had been detailed in the notice.
