The issue
The Royal Oak wanted greater control over its product range through an MRO lease. The proposed stocking requirement would have limited that choice.
The approach
MDE challenged the proposed terms through arbitration, examining the effect of the stocking requirement on the tenant’s commercial flexibility.
The outcome
The published case study records a reduced stocking requirement and greater scope to choose products from independent suppliers.
Why it matters
Moving free of tie involves more than agreeing a rent. The remaining obligations need careful examination.
