Following a number of questions about the changes to the insurance provisions in version 1.8 of the Model Commercial Lease, we have published an additional explanatory note about those changes setting out the reasons for making the changes. You can view the note from the link below.
Following the launch of version 1.8 of the leases, we have received a number of comments on small drafting points that need to be addressed. Whilst the majority of these do not affect the terms of the leases themselves and would usually be included in the next major release of the Model Commercial Lease, there were one or two changes where we felt an immediate update was required. We have therefore issues a maintenance release of the leases which now have the version number 1.8a. A note setting out the changes can be viewed from the link below:
