A-Z guide: UK commercial rent arrears arbitration

The UK Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Bill was published on 9 November 2021 and has been attracting a large amount of commentary ever since.

The Bill sets out the long-awaited details of the UK Government’s proposal to introduce a scheme of arbitration to deal with disputes over non-payment of commercial rent during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to discuss the details of the new scheme in our webinar with Nicholas Trompeter QC on 11 November 2021 (and if you missed it, you can view the webinar here).

We will be watching developments in this area closely going forward, and for now, scroll down for our A-Z guide of the key points you need to know about the scheme.

We hope you find this a useful summary of the current position, and if you do want to know more then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our real estate litigation team.
