STFA ESTABLISHES SALVESEN RIDDELL HELPLINE – ARE YOU AFFECTED – GET IN TOUCH!

The Scottish Tenant Farmers Association has established a Helpline for tenant farmers who have been caught up in the fallout from the Salvesen Riddell case.  STFA is urging all tenants who think they may be affected to get in touch with STFA as soon as possible.

The UK Supreme Court has ordered the Scottish Government to remedy s72 in the 2003 Act (the legislation put in place to give added protection to tenants in limited Partnership tenancies) and the Scottish Government is now consulting on how it intends to carry out this order.  The consultation ends on 7th February.

Commenting on the situation STFA director Angus McCall said; “Government officials have been in contact with several individuals who are affected by the Remedial Order, but there may be others who are not yet realise that they too are involved.     

We would urge anyone who had a notice served on them terminating their Limited Partnership tenancy in 2003 to contact STFA as a matter of urgency whether or not they are members of the Association.

 

“This is a very complex situation affecting tenants in different ways.  The STFA Helpline will guide and support tenants in planning the best way forward and in negotiations with the Scottish Government and their landlords.”
