  • EE LIMITED and (2) HUTCHISON 3G UK LIMITED
    SECOND DIVISION, INNER HOUSE, COURT OF SESSION [2021] CSIH 27 XA63/20 Lord Justice Clerk Lord Malcolm Lord Doherty OPINION OF THE COURT delivered by LORD MALCOLM in the appeal by (1) EE LIMITED and (2) HUTCHISON 3G UK LIMITED Appellants against JOHN STEWART DUNCAN Respondent Appellants: Barne QC; Shepherd and Wedderburn LLP Respondent: Upton; Davidson Chalmers Stewart LLP 7 May 2021 [1] This is an appeal against a decision of the Lands Tribunal for Scotland (the tribunal). The main issue concerns the proper approach to paragraph 33(14) of the Electronic Communications Code contained in schedule 3A to the Communications Act 2003, as amended by the Digital Economy Act 2017. This new code replaced the old code set out in schedule 2 to the Telecommunications Act 1984. In terms of transitional provisions the old code remains relevant to agreements made under it. 2 Background [2] In 2003 Mr John Stewart Duncan (the owner) entered into an agreement with EE Ltd, which that company subsequently assigned to itself and Hutchison 3G UK Ltd (the operators), granting certain rights to keep, operate and inspect telecommunications apparatus on a site at Wester Dullatur Farm, North Lanarkshire. After the expiry of the agreed term in 2012 the lease has continued from year to year by way of tacit relocation (a rule under Scots law whereby a lease will be extended beyond its agreed term if neither party serves a notice ending the agreement). [3] In 2018 the operators sought agreement as to a new lease containing provisions designed to update the agreement in accordance with the minimum provisions imposed by the new code, including assignation rights; ability to share and upgrade the facilities without additional payment; and a “no network scheme” basis for the assessment of rental and compensation (which would be less costly for the operators).
