12C Landlord's objection to legatee or acquirer on intestacy: supplementary provision
(1) Pending any proceedings under section 12A or 12B, the legatee or acquirer is to have possession of the holding provided the executor in whom the lease is vested under section 14 of the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964 consents.
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply where the Land Court, on the application of the landlord and on cause shown, directs otherwise.
(3) In the case of a legatee, if the bequest is declared null and void—
(a) under section 12A(6)(a),
(b) by virtue of a counter-notice under section 12B(2), no appeal to the Land Court having been made under section 12B(3), or
(c) by virtue of the Land Court confirming such a counter-notice on such an appeal,
the right to the lease is to be treated as intestate estate of the deceased tenant in accordance with Part 1 of the Succession (Scotland) Act 1964.
(4) In the case of an acquirer, if the lease is terminated—
(a) under section 12A(6)(b),
(b) by virtue of a counter-notice under section 12B(2), no appeal to the Land Court having been made under section 12B(3), or
(c) by virtue of the Land Court confirming such a counter-notice on such an appeal,
that termination is to be treated, for the purposes of Parts 4 and 5 of this Act (compensation), as termination of the acquirer's tenancy of the holding.
(5) But nothing in this section is to entitle the acquirer to compensation for disturbance.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
