Statutory declaration

The same declaration, but made formally before an independent solicitor. It is needed when the warning notice was served less than 14 days before the tenant is bound, and it is harder to arrange at short notice. Linnet did not need one. Chapter 2 · see Simple declaration, Warning notice

Explained in Chapter 2, Heads of Terms and Security of Tenure, of Commercial Leases.

How it comes up, in Chapter 2
If there are fewer, the tenant must make a statutory declaration: a formal statement signed in front of an independent solicitor. That still works, but it is harder to arrange at short notice.
