About The Event
About the Seminar:
The Prescription (Scotland) Act 2018 came fully into force in February 2025. This seminar will look at some of the key changes in the law, in particular (a) the obligations to which the five-year negative prescription has now been extended; (b) how the 20-year negative prescription has been entirely reformulated so as to operate as a true long-stop prescription; and (c) the (limited) availability of standstill agreements to preserve obligations from the five-year (and two-year) prescriptions.
