Challenging Public Law and Human Rights Act Submissions in Possession Proceedings
30.09.2009
Time: 5:30pm
Location: Hardwicke Building
This seminar will look at the nature and availability of Human Rights Act and public law defences to otherwise mandatory possession claims in the light of the decisions in Kay & others-v-Lambeth LBC: Price & others-v-Leeds City Council (2006) 4 All ER 128 and Doherty & others-v-Birmingham City Council (2009) 1 All ER 653, and see how they have developed since then. It will also consider appropriate "good practice" that may be employed by local authorities and registered providers to discourage such defences and litigation tactics to minimise their impact.
The seminar will be given by Andrew Lane and Laura Tweedy of Hardwicke Building's Social Housing Team.
