Scots land law

Language: English Series: Times ; 26 May 1992, 24(2)Publication details: 1992Subject(s): Summary: In "CIN Properties Ltd v Dollar Land (Cumberland) Ltd", HL 21 May 1992, it was held that for nearly 130 years it had been well established in the law of Scotland that a conventional irritancy in a lease for nonpayment of rent could not be purged unless it was enforced oppressively. It was not open to HL to bring about any more far reaching development of the law in that field than was thought appropriate by Parliament in enacting Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1985.
