The Scottish Land Court has issued a decision in Grant v Trustees of the Glengarry Estate Trust, SLC/92/08, 7 July 2008 in which Robert Sutherland acted for the successful respondent. The main point in issue was whether the respondent (the landlord) was obliged to enter into a wayleave agreement with a third party as an implied obligation arising from the legislative provisions about diversification in Part 3 of the Agricultural Holdings (Scotland) Act 2003.
