Examines the latest edition of the RICS guidance note on dilapidations. Explains that it gives guidance on preparing, serving and responding to claims for dilapidations. The new Civil Procedure Rules had a major impact on the way that dilapidation claims are processed with many of the old pre-CPR attitudes no longer appropriate. Looks at the pre-action protocols and the costs which may not follow the event. This has important implications for the preparation of the schedule as there is a potential breach of contract if it is not done properly. Comments that a high standard of dialogue between the parties' surveyors is crucial to ensure that the focus is only on the matters on which the parties truly disagree, not simply misunderstandings.
