Long term closure order
47 Long term closure order
If a long term closure order under section 69CC of the Tobacco and E-Cigarette Products Act 1997 is in effect in relation to premises to which a retail shop lease applies, the lease will be taken to include the following provisions:
the lessor or the lessee may terminate the lease because of the long term closure order by giving not less than 28 days written notice to the other (or such shorter period as agreed between the parties);
if a dispute arises between the parties to the retail shop lease as a consequence of the long term closure order, the Magistrates Court may, on application by a party to the lease, make such orders (including orders for the payment of compensation) or do anything necessary or desirable as the Court thinks fit to resolve the dispute.
