What affects has the Civil Procedure Rules had in the real world on dilapidations?
The affect that we have seen working in the real world on dilapidations is that the claims made by landlords surveyors are now more reasonable and, thanks to the RICS Guidance Notes, they are in a standardised format, which means that should you get to the Scots Schedule stage (please see our article on Scots Schedules) the a court of law will be able to interpret the arguments for and against each case relatively easily. They will also be able to deal further with questioning and cross-examining to establish how closely the surveyors have followed the RICS Guidance Notes on dilapidations and the Civil Procedure protocol.
