Ongoing cases
Effect of amendments on ongoing cases3
1
The repeals in article 2(2)(c) are to apply in relation to any ongoing application for an order under section 72(8) of the 2003 Act.
2
In consequence, the Scottish Land Court (or any other court considering the application on appeal) must make an order disposing of the application in such manner as it considers reasonable.
3
An order under paragraph (2) may, in particular—
a
specify shorter periods for the purposes of section 73(4) and (5) of the 2003 Act,
b
specify the date on which the tenancy to which the application relates is to terminate,
c
deal with such other matters relating to the tenancy or its termination as the Court considers appropriate.
4
An order under paragraph (2) is to be treated as a determination of a matter by virtue of the 2003 Act.
5
In this article, a reference to an ongoing application for an order under section 72(8) of the 2003 Act is a reference to an application made to the Scottish Land Court under section 72(7) of that Act before the coming into force of this Order and which, at that time—
a
has not been finally determined by the Scottish Land Court, or
b
is subject to an appeal from that Court which has not been finally determined.
