Fiona Dickie, the Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA), has today asked for views on a series of measures aimed at removing potential barriers to tied tenants seeking a Market Rent Only – or free of tie – option for their pubs.
The Pubs Code Adjudicator is responsible for enforcing the statutory Pubs Code. The Pubs Code regulates the relationship between all pub companies owning 500 or more tied pubs in England and Wales and their tied tenants. PCA works with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy .
