By: Series: Estates Gazette ; (0141) 13 October 2001, 175(1)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Discusses claims for terminal dilapidations. Argues that the connected issues can vary widely from the repair of covenants through to disputes over whether proposed works constitute "improvements". Notes that there is no officially approved pre-action protocol that applies directly to terminal dilapidation claims. The Property Litigation Association hopes to change this with a protocol that is intended to cater specifically for difficulties that arrise from dilapidation claims. It is an attempt to standardise and provide a benchmark for good practice in relation to claims.
