Petition for Partial Recall of Inhibition:- The petitioners were spouses who formally traded from a restaurant in Bothwell which they occupied under a long lease. In 2006 another couple obtained an interest in the business and entered into a partnership with the petitioners. Later in the same year an action was raised by the respondent in Hamilton Sheriff Court against all four partners seeking payment of a sum of £204,000. The petitioners were inhibited by the respondents by letters of inhibition registered on 18 September 2007 following registration of a notice of inhibition on 31 August 2007. It was the petitioners position that they entered into missives dated 7, 10 and 31 August 2007 for the sale of the lease. Here the petitioners sought partial recall of the inhibition in so far as it related to the subjects of the lease as the inhibition became effective on 31 August 2007 as a result of the notice of inhibition and because the missives were not concluded before that date, the inhibition was effective to prevent implement of the missives. The question before the court was when the inhibition took effect. The general position is that where missives are concluded before the date on which an inhibition becomes effective, they will not be struck at by the inhibition. Here the court considered whether the minute of sale was a genuine transaction or one which had been manufactured to defeat the fair operation of the inhibition.
