Independent Assessor process during the COVID-19 emergency

Details

This information is only relevant to a tied pub tenant (TPT) who has already received a MRO proposal from their pub-owning business (POB) and its terms have been agreed or determined. The Independent Assessor (IA) process is the means by which a Market Rent Only (MRO) rent is then to be determined, where it cannot be agreed.

The Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) has helped put in place a Declaration by all POBs about managing many Pubs Code processes during the COVID-19 emergency, but it does not apply to the IA process.
