<p style="line-height: 100%" align="JUSTIFY">The first question is
whether the restriction of commerce is caused by a voluntary
decision
of the individual, or is a restriction imposed by law. According
to
Proclamation 20-05 Inslee has both declared an emergency under RCW
<font color="#000000"><font size="3">43.06,</font></font> and
martial
law under RCW 38.08. (10th Whereas.) Some force <font
color="#000000"><font size="3">majeure
clauses explicitly refer to martial law.</font></font></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%" align="JUSTIFY"><font color="#000000"><font
size="3">Although
a governor's emergency powers under RCW 43.06 are primarily
limited
to public spaces, his martial law powers (and use of the
militia to
enforce them) are not so limited. Inslee has taken on the
power of
the legislature by promulgating law without its participation,
and
implementing it without any right of judicial review or appeal
(no
due process). The courts are barely functioning. Inslee claims
the
power, and exhibits the behavior, of a tyrant. So
participation in
the destruction of commerce is not voluntary; it is beyond the
control of the individual.</font></font></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%" align="JUSTIFY"><font color="#000000"><font
size="3">Yes,
I know, it is all for our own good. Covid kills people etc.
etc. etc. But tyranny is always supported by a good excuse,
and is always
based upon an allegation that the ignorance, inability, or
weakness
of the people prevent them from protecting their own interest;
strong
government must be the savior of the people. (The ancient Jews
demanded a strong King rather than judges, the ancient Greeks
surrendered their democracy to aid the fight against Sparta,
the
Roman republic was short lived, the Germans elected Hitler,
and on
and on.)</font></font></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%" align="JUSTIFY"><font color="#000000"><font
size="3">Having
obtained the power of a tyrant Inslee will be loath to
relinquish it.
(One who is the wisest and most just should rule, especially
in a
crises, isn't it the divine right of kings?) There does not
appear to
be any statutory limit on his ability to hold onto absolute
power.
His party controls the legislature. How can the court find he
is not
seeing that the laws are “faithfully executed” under Article
III
of our state constitution?</font></font></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%" align="JUSTIFY"><font color="#000000"><font
size="3">So,
the tenants may have a good claim, and the owners may want to
review
the proceedings of the French revolution.</font></font></p>
<p style="line-height: 100%" align="JUSTIFY"><br>
<font color="#000000"><font size="3">PS:
let your blood pressure go down a bit—we all have time for due
consideration these days.</font></font></p>

commercial real estate sector is taking a hit as business
shutdowns and significant cash flow declines force some
companies to miss their rent payments, while some in the
industry contend that businesses are choosing not to pay.
Dave Black, CEO with Spokane-based commercial real estate
company NAI Black, says the company has received letters
from most of its national tenants stating that the companies
didn’t intend to pay rent this month, even if they were

Decedent had executed a legacy trust providing for the
annual distribution<br>
of 70% of the net income to six beneficiaries for up to 35
years, coupled<br>
with a restriction on invasion of the corpus for
supplemental care,<br>
education, etc. The trust provides that 30% of the net
income is to be<br>
reinvested annually. All beneficiaries would prefer to
have the trust<br>
terminated and distributed in full. It seems that goal
could be<br>
accomplished through a TEDRA agreement signed by all
beneficiaries.<br>
Thoughts or comments would be appreciated. <br>

This is probably coming up for many folks, especially with
retail clients.<br>
<br>
My initial legal framework for this is<br>
<br>
Is there a force majeure clause in the
lease?<br>
<br>
Does the pandemic and/or its restrictions
qualify for commercial frustration or impracticability of
performance?<br>
<br>
Does force majeure or commercial
frustration/impracticability defense help the individual
guarantors?<br>
<br>
For handling this problem<br>
<br>
Informal discussion with LL ? first step<br>
Formal mediation second ? 2nd<br>
Litigation or arbitration - 3rd<br>
<br>
Does this seem sound? How strong is a commercial
frustration or impracticability argument for this
pandemic?<br>

<br>
Andrew, I commend you for thinking holistically,
creatively, and with an eye on using professional neutrals
to navigate these issues in commercial leasing.<br>
<br>
Here?s my template:<br>
<br>
1. The moratoria operating in many jurisdictions covering
residential and commercial scenarios alike are first and
foremost a call for tenants and landlords to slow down,
avoid precipitous action, take stock of circumstances, and
work on solutions together. With rare exceptions they
point to rent deferment not abatement; it has amazed me to
see how confusion there is on that point.<br>
<br>
2. For commercial leases, I point to force majeure clauses
and especially destruction of premises provisions
(particularly in retail) as themes to organize
conversation - for over 100 years, rent abatement has been
an accepted remedy when external forces make retail spaces
unusable. I do not hold that these provisions can be
applied legally to the pandemic, but I have gotten people
talking productively by reminding them the idea is sound.
It is an industry practice.<br>
<br>
3. Innovative mediated approaches guided by a leasing
expert should be deployed as early as possible, when they
can deliver the most value. <br>
<br>
There is a cohort of specially trained mediators working
on these issues in California and the Northwest including
in BC. Let me know if you?d like to be connected with
them. We have also been doing presentations on best
practices for tenants and landlords in addressing
commercial leasing tensions and disputes animated by
COVID. All the work is being done quickly, and entirely
online which is standard practice for those of us
involved.<br>
<br>
Thank you Andrew for your thoughtful posting.<br>

PC was divorced from wife last year. The judgment or
decree allowed one<br>
spouse to reside and pay rent/ expenses and one PC can
refinance and buy out<br>
the former spouse for 40% of the net value. They agreed on
a set amount for<br>
buyout. I just want to confirm that WAC 458-61A-203
exempts this from Excise<br>
tax, and if so do we need to file a certified copy of the
Divorce Order or<br>

Yes, provided the transfer is as agreed upon in a
settlement agreement or decree of dissolution, you can
cite WAC 458-61A-203 and put the explanation in the
comments. A certified copy of the decree is not
necessary. (In contrast, for transfers under a probated
will, for example, you must submit a certified copy of the
letters testamentary, which requirement is specifically
stated in the WAC.)<br>
