Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 82 of the Coronavirus Act 2020 ensures that re-entry or forfeiture for non-payment of rent may not be enforced in relation to relevant business tenancies during the “relevant period”. Section 82(12) of the Act defines the “relevant period” as beginning on 26 March 2020, and ending on 30 June 2020, or such later date as may be specified in regulations made by the relevant national authority.
The Welsh Ministers are the relevant national authority in relation to Wales.
The Business Tenancies (Extension of Protection from Forfeiture etc.) (Wales) (Coronavirus) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/606 (W. 140)) extended the “relevant period” until 30 September 2020.
The Business Tenancies (Extension of Protection from Forfeiture etc.) (Wales) (Coronavirus) (No. 2) Regulations 2020 (S.I. 2020/960 (W. 214)) further extended the “relevant period” until 31 December 2020.
