Checklist This Checklist outlines how to serve notices to quit aimed at preventing tacit relocation in commercial leases in Scotland. It covers: Who may serve a notice to quit; When it must be given; and How service should be effected. It does not address notices to quit for residential or agricultural property, nor does it cover the particular protection afforded to shop tenants under the Tenancy of Shops (Scotland) Act 1949 (see Practice Note: Protection for shop tenants), which are outside the scope of this Checklist and are not considered here. In Scotland, the principle of tacit relocation provides that a commercial lease will not end on the stated contractual expiry date but will continue, unless one of the parties serves a notice to quit in good time to bring it to an end at that date and then follows through by acting on the notice, or the tenant separately confirms it will vacate on the specified termination date. The notice...

FORTHCOMING CHANGE This Practice Note reflects the current legal position. Certain aspects will be affected by the Digital Omnibus proposals published on 19 November 2025 under the EU Commission’s ‘simplification’ agenda. For further detail, see Practice Note: EU Digital Omnibus—tracker. It introduces the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2016/679—commonly called the GDPR and described here as the ‘EU GDPR’ to distinguish it from the UK GDPR. It summarises core concepts, regulatory supervision and organisational obligations under the EU GDPR, and ends with guidance on planning EU GDPR compliance activities.

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) took direct effect and became fully enforceable across EU Member States on 25 May 2018. As the EU GDPR has been incorporated into the EEA Agreement and applies in every EEA country, references within it to EU Member States can generally be read as also covering EEA members. Enforcement under the EU GDPR has largely centred on elevating sanctions for breaches, with the expectation that tougher penalty provisions—particularly the higher administrative fines of up to the greater of 4% of worldwide annual turnover or €20m—will encourage stronger compliance. The Regulation also established the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) to promote a more uniform interpretation of the EU GDPR and the penalties issued under it. This Practice Note examines: the approach to sanctions and enforcement under the EU GDPR, including the role of the lead supervisory authority the role of the EDPB in seeking a more consistent application of the EU GDPR the role and powers...

We have also introduced a new topic focused on multi-jurisdictional FDI control. Philippines—notification thresholds increased for two years The Philippines Competition Commission (PCC) has issued rules explaining the application of the increased notification thresholds under the Bayanihan to Recover As One Act, which established a two-year exemption from notification where a transaction is below PHP 50bn. The PCC confirms that, until 15 September 2022, transactions must be notified to the PCC (with closing suspended pending clearance) where: at least one party (including ultimate parent entities) has either annual turnover in, into and from the Philippines or assets in the Philippines exceeding PHP 50bn (approx. €870.9m/US$1,026.6m), and the value of the transaction exceeds PHP 50bn (approx. €870.9m/US$1,026.6m) (ie the target has either annual turnover in, into...
