Part 4: THE PUBS CODE ADJUDICATOR AND THE PUBS CODE

The Pubs Code

Section 44: Market rent only option: procedure

291.This section outlines the procedure, to be detailed in the Pubs Code, for the Market Rent Only (MRO) option to be exercised. It makes clear that the Pubs Code may confer relevant functions on the Adjudicator (subsection (1)(b)); provides for the tied tenant to notify the pub-owning business when it considers that circumstances have arisen that entitle it to a MRO offer; specifies a negotiation period before the next stage of the procedure takes place, during which the two would be expected to try to agree a rent for a MRO-compliant tenancy; requires the appointment of an independent assessor at the end of the negotiation period to determine the market rent within a specified reasonable period; requires that appointment to be made jointly by the tied tenant and the pub-owning business or, if they cannot agree, by the Adjudicator; and may require the Adjudicator to set criteria for someone to qualify as an independent assessor for these purposes.

292.The Pubs Code may also specify that the independent assessor has to determine the market rent in accordance with specified documents – for example, the Code may specify guidance produced by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

293.Subsection (4) allows the Pubs Code to specify the circumstances when the MRO procedure should be treated as having come to an end. The Code may also provide for tenancy, licence or other contractual agreements in force when an MRO option procedure is initiated to continue until that point (subsection (3)).

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
