The Pre-action Protocol for Claims for Damages in Relation to the Physical State of Commercial Property at Termination of a Tenancy (the ‘ Dilapidations Protocol’) obliges the landlord to provide the tenant with a ‘ Quantified Demand’ that itemises every loss being pursued. Although a quantified demand will always depend on the specific circumstances, the notes below are intended to guide you in putting one together. Form of demand You may set out the demand as a letter structured with headings, or as a table adopting the layout recommended in the RICS guidance note Dilapidations in England and Wales, 7th edition ( September 2016). As with a schedule of dilapidations, it should be served within a reasonable period following the end of the lease. What counts as reasonable can differ from matter to matter, but is commonly 56 days. If the landlord’s surveyor prepares the...

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
