Keep open clauses in Scotland—drafting and enforcement

Practice notes

This Practice Note considers keep open clauses in Scottish commercial leases. It outlines what a keep open clause is and considers why parties may want a keep open clause in their lease; what points a solicitor should consider when drafting a keep open clause; and remedies available to a landlord in the event of a tenant breach of the keep open clause. The Practice Note also briefly reviews the differing approach to enforcement of keep open clauses in Scotland and in England and finally looks at considerations of the Court during enforcement.
